Exploring the role of Rwanda’s peatlands in its sustainable future.
Investigating the relationship between carbon and biodiversity dynamics in peatlands under restoration, in the Scottish Highlands.
Exploring ways of funding peatland restoration, which are ecologically sound, socially just, and economically feasible.
And interested in almost any themes related to peatlands!
I am a conservation ecologist with a keen interest in how tropical ecosystems can be managed sustainably in the face of agricultural expansion and the other pervasive impacts of globalisation. I am particularly interested in peat-scapes, and how they can be responsibly managed through an understanding of their unique hydrological requirements. Past projects of mine, involving time in both academia and industry, have included: creating a mapping and monitoring system for peatlands in the UK, Malaysia and Indonesia; reconstructing past vegetation change and assessing future prospects for the coastal peatlands of Malaysian Borneo; exploring the dynamics of human-wildlife interaction in northeast India; and training Government, research and NGO partners in Ghana, Indonesia and Malaysia on the use of a decision support tool for restoring connectivity in landscapes for biodiversity under climate change.
I'm currently working on a range of research projects with various (fantastic!) interdisciplinary teams, which have a unifying focus on exploring human-environment interactions at different scales:
In my teaching, I explore the following themes:
In order to engage with the next, and multiple generation(s), with industry and with the wider scientific community, I am engaged in the following roles:
Peatlands; Forests; Environmental Geography; Ecosystem management; Carbon management; Interdisciplinary studies; Science communication
