As part of WWT’s Conservation Evidence team, I’m involved in developing and carrying out a wide range of research projects that provide the inter-disciplinary (ecological, social) evidence needed to inform the conservation actions of WWT and our partners. My current areas of research include improving our understanding of the benefits of wetlands, including their role in mitigating climate change through the storage of carbon (“blue carbon”), as well as understanding their provision of socio-cultural services to people and communities. I am particularly interested in understanding the factors that influence the provision of these ecosystem services by wetlands. My research also investigates anthropogenic threats to wetlands and their wildlife, as well as how species respond to conservation efforts. I have worked extensively on diagnosing the demographic and environmental causes of population declines in threated wetland species.
