James was an ENVISION DTP NERC funded PhD student based at the University of Nottingham, supervised by Dr Richard Field (University of Nottingham), Dr Sally Keith (Lancaster University) and Dr Dan Exton (Operation Wallacea). He studied the role of refuges in biological invasions and coral reef ecosystems.
What’s next?
James is now a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Nottingham, where he investigates how biodiversity credit scores are influenced by different levels of biodiversity change and sampling techniques. The goal is to support the development of more robust and reliable crediting systems that accurately reflect conservation and restoration outcomes in the emerging biodiversity credit market.
