Research Fellow at UCL-CBER. Research interests in understanding how biodiversity is changing in response to recent environmental change, and predicting how biodiversity will change in future. He is also interested in the consequences of biodiversity change for human societies. To address these questions, Tim’s work centres around the development of large-scale models of biodiversity and ecosystems. Supervisor of Gonzalo Albaladejo.
Associate Professor in Ecology at University College London with research interests in understanding the key biological processes that maintain biodiversity, and the factors that regulate populations and communities in space and time. Approaches include developing new theoretical insights to generate new hypotheses; developing better statistical tools to interrogate data and challenge the theory with real world observations; as well as data collection to assess the impact of human activities on taxonomic and functional diversity. Supervisor of Shawn Dove.
Head of Species Monitoring and Research at the RSPB Centre for Conservation Science and Honorary Professor at the Centre for Biodiversity and Environment Research, UCL. Research interests include biodiversity monitoring and indicators, citizen science, climatic change impacts, conservation priorities, measuring natural capital and ecosystem services, alien invasive species, and the impacts of predation and wildlife diseases. With a particular interest in survey design, monitoring, indicators, and in promoting informed and evidence-based environmental decision making to bridge the gap between conservation science and policymaking. Supervisor of Sean Jellesmark.
