Global Biodiversity Change group, University College London

Research

Our groups's research aims to understand how biodiversity is changing in response to recent environmental change, and to predict how biodiversity will change in future. We are also interested in the consequences of biodiversity change for human societies. To address these questions, our work mostly centres around the development of large-scale models of biodiversity and ecosystems.

We are based in the Centre for Biodiversity & Environment Research in the Genetics, Evolution and Environment Department at University College London. Visit Tim's UCL profile page.

Our group adheres to a set of guiding principles, aiming to improve the work culture in academia.

Current opportunities

We have no specific opportunities at present, but please get in touch with a CV if you would like to explore funding options.
