研究领域

I am an environmental biologist broadly interested in understanding what and how socio-ecological factors affect biodiversity and ecosystem services. More specifically, how can we conserve biodiversity and maintain ecosystem services in the face of the growing demand for resources from the environment. My previous research has focused on the spatial component of these issues, involving the quantification, mapping and modelling of biodiversity, ecosystem services and human activities over large spatial scales. I have particular interest in participating in projects aiming to provide scientific information to decision and policy makers. I am a member of the UNEP-WCMC based at the Zoology department working on a Luc Hoffmann Institute (LHI) funded project. This 2-years research fellowship aims to explore: 1) how the distribution of multiple anthropogenic pressures affect biodiversity; 2) what are the drivers promoting such pressures; and 3) how these drivers link to supply-demand patterns.
