About
This research will look at community biodiversity patterns in fragmented systems around the world, focussing on the compilation, analysis and publication of biodiversity responses to habitat fragmentation. Primary focus of this ERC funded project are tropical rainforests of the world. The research will be losely linked to the S.A.F.E. project (http://www.safeproject.net/)
Have been doing and still involved in one way or another:
(1) Analysis of land use dynamics in tropical East Africa using earth observation data and R-based modelling.
(2) Development of bottom-up research framework for analysing ecosystem services and their links to poverty / rural livelihood in socio-ecological systems of Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
(3) Remote sensing advice / fieldwork advise to WWF TZ REDD ‘Enhancing Tanzanian Capacity to Deliver Short and Long Term data on Forest Carbon Stocks across the Country’ and ICIPE CHIESA ‘Climate Change Impacts on Ecosystem Services and Food Security in Eastern Africa’ (http://chiesa.icipe.org/index.php).
