I am a macroecologist, interested in theoretical ecology and global changes, and I try to understand the overall patterns at regional and global scales. In the current era of data, more and more information is becoming publicly available from a diverse range of fields, and I leverage such databases to address outstanding questions.
In the Department of Environmental Sciences, my project focuses on the conservation of glacier foreland ecosystems, aiming to answer questions such as: how are patterns of plant and animal diversity arranged at the regional (landscape) scale? And how do different land-use practices affect the diversity and the ecosystem services these species provide for us?
