Christopher Schulz is an interdisciplinary researcher with interests in environment and development, environmental values, and water governance. At St Andrews, his primary focus is on critical economic dimensions of sustainability, in particular: Economic instruments for environmental management and sustainability transitions Methodological options for valuing the environment Conceptual and practical alternatives to mainstream economic approaches. He is also currently Lead Researcher for the Dutch Government’s Valuing Water Initiative. Most of his research has been in Latin America, but he
This is project identifies and evaluates interventions and approaches which facilitate transformative change in how Scottish biodiversity is framed, valued, and managed. It also explores how the benefits of Scotland's biodiversity can be harnessed and more equitably distributed.
Becky is the Lichen Biodiversity Scientist at RBGE, responsible for research about lichens from an evolutionary perspective. Her research aims to understand the diversity of lichens using a wide range of tools from inventory and biogeography, to population genetics and the structure of symbiotic relationships. She teaches lichen biology and species interactions at the graduate level and lichen identification for the public, and she serves as Co-Chair of the IUCN Lichen Specialist Group. Becky’s research aims to: Explore the lichen diversity of Scotland, especially areas of high conservation
This project addresses deficiencies in data and recording infrastructure of Scottish biodiversity enabling improved identification of drivers, hotspots and uniqueness.
Ade has background in geology and information science with specialisation in geo-information. His research interests are in spatial modelling and analysis. He has been involved prior to joining the Institute in using GIS to store, analyse and model spatial data. He is involved mostly with water related teams in processing and analysing spatial tasks components of projects.
This project assesses how specific land uses and management activities affect biodiversity and ecosystem services to inform land use policy.
I am a quantitative ecologist specialising in population and ecosystem health. My research explores population processes related to animal distributions, movements, and connectivity in marine environments. Exploring marine spatial, and population processes allows us to understand how human activities influence environmental change and the effects these perturbations have on ecosystem health and services. I aim to relate my research findings to broad scale ecological concepts in population and community ecology.
This project aims to understand how marine and terrestrial protected areas can best conserve biodiversity under current and future climates.
This project aims to develop a Risk and Opportunities Assessement Framewowork to asses Natural Capital assets and impacts of climate change, by integrating multiple (qantitative and qualitative) data, to identify risk asset types and consequences on capacity for Nature-based Solutions.
Margaret has developed her skills in GIS and spatial analysis over more than 28 years, (25 years of which within the institute), using mainly ESRI software, particularly using ModelBuilder and scripting, using Python and R. She applies her skills across most of the areas of research and commercial work undertaken within the institute including forensics in the UK and abroad. Margaret occasionally tutors colleagues who request help with GIS and spatial analysis and occasionally assisting on licensing and copyright issues. Margaret has 20 years’ experience in working on visualising renewable
