Email: eva.maire@ird.fr
An engineer in life sciences by training, she has solid grounding to identify challenges and propose solutions in ecosystem management and conservation. She completed a PhD at the interface between ecology and social science at MARBEC lab / University of Montpellier and ARC Centre of Excellence of Coral Reefs Studies / James Cook University. Her research tackles issues in coral reef systems using both ecological and social-ecological approaches in the Indian Ocean and globally.
Research Interests
Eva’s research examines the interactions between coral reefs and people, using ecological and social-ecological approaches, involving field and lab-work, statistical models, and spatial analyses. More broadly, her research is highly interdisciplinary, spanning global issues of small-scale fisheries management, environmental change, human health, and biodiversity conservation.
Eva’s current research focuses on the contribution small-scale fisheries can make to human health with a focus on understanding how climate change impacts food and nutrition security in the tropics.
