Summary Experience

John Hazelden is a soil scientist/ soil surveyor with over 35 years experience. He is a Fellow of the Geological Society of London (FGS), a Chartered Geologist (C Geol) and a Member of the Institute of Professional Soil Scientists (MISoilSci). Prior to becoming a self-employed consultant with LAB Coastal in 1999, he worked for the Soil Survey and Land Research Centre (formerly the Soil Survey of England and Wales and now part of Cranfield University) where he managed and undertook research projects and consultancy work for a wide range of clients in both the public and private sectors.

John has worked for many years on alluvial and salt marshes soils, including modelling nitrogen fluxes in the latter. In addition, he has wide experience of detailed soil and land investigations for farm planning, rent assessment, disease risk assessment, mineral extraction and restoration, contaminated land remediation, the assessment of suitability for specific crops including woodland, the assessment of soil material for specific uses, and the selection of experimental trials sites.
