About me
PhD - University of Sheffield (2003) BSc - University of Sheffield (1998)
I am a global change ecologist with a strong focus on understanding and predicting the impacts of climate change on plant populations. I also work understanding the implications of such changes on humans - eg through impacts on resources and risk. I am a member and past leader of the cross-university Extremes in Science and Society University of Stirling Research Programme.
My work incorporates tools from remote sensing through to molecular genetics and covers a wide range of spatial and temporal scales, such as the following areas:
- Determinants of species distributions
- Identifying, predicting and monitoring impacts of environmental change on ecosystem structure and function
- Geographic patterns in plant ecology and population genetics
- Maintenance and loss of genetic diversity in natural plant populations. - Evolutionary responses to environmental change
- Integration of population genetics with ecology and palaeobotany
I work from lowland tropical systems to alpine regions and across all plant types.
