Following his PhD from the University of Sheffield in 2010, he has gone on to become a Nuffield Farming Scholar, Green Roof Organisation Board member and CIWEM Environmental Partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On today\u2019s show, Tom and I embark on a vivid discussion around how seemingly unrelated topics such as green roofs, beer, mushrooms, Wimbeldon, pub names, 5 star rating systems, golf courses, water, cowboys and community have shaped his holistic thinking around creating future sustainability and better stakeholder collaboration in the UK.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/TomYoung_Profilepic.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"606\" data-attachment-id=\"1840\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/petermbach.com\/index.php\/podcast\/043-tom-young\/tomyoung_profilepic\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/TomYoung_Profilepic.jpg?fit=606%2C606&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"606,606\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"TomYoung_Profilepic\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/TomYoung_Profilepic.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/TomYoung_Profilepic.jpg?fit=606%2C606&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/TomYoung_Profilepic.jpg?resize=606%2C606&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/TomYoung_Profilepic.jpg?w=606&amp;ssl=1 606w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/TomYoung_Profilepic.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/TomYoung_Profilepic.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/TomYoung_Profilepic.jpg?resize=465%2C465&amp;ssl=1 465w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petermbach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/TomYoung_Profilepic.jpg?resize=500%2C500&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Biography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Thomas Young is an Associate and Blue-Green Infrastructure Specialist at The Environment Partnership (TEP), where he leads multidisciplinary projects focused on sustainable water management. With a Master&#8217;s in Ecology and a PhD in Applied Ecological Science specializing in green roof substrate optimization, Tom has established himself as one of the UK&#8217;s leading experts in sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) and green infrastructure. His expertise spans SuDS opportunity mapping, green-blue roof design, landscape hydrology, and water masterplan projects. As a board member of the UK Green Roof Organisation, Tom played an instrumental role in developing the UK&#8217;s first dedicated green roof British Standard (BSI 8616:2019) and updated industry guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to joining TEP, Tom worked as a Research and Environmental Consultant, managing over 100 research trials and client projects. His notable achievements include designing and supervising the installation of smart blue-green roofs and developing innovative concepts for using golf courses to store stormwater and reduce pressure on drainage networks. Tom&#8217;s credentials are further enhanced by his status as a 2022 Nuffield Farming Scholar studying water security across agricultural, landscape, and horticultural sectors, and as a Building with Nature Approved Assessor. His interdisciplinary approach combines rigorous scientific research with practical applications, positioning him as a leading voice in the integration of natural processes into built environment solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id='buzzsprout-small-player-limit-5-artist-thomas-young'><\/div><script type='text\/javascript' charset='utf-8' src='https:\/\/www.buzzsprout.com\/2083595.js?artist=Thomas+Young&#038;container_id=buzzsprout-small-player-limit-5-artist-thomas-young&#038;limit=5&#038;player=small'><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources Related to the Episode<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Here&#8217;s the map of pubs around Scheffield!
