My dissertation research focuses on understanding the impacts of rapid urbanization on biodiversity at the global scale. I aim to understand the role of urbanization as a driver of habitat loss and fragmentation, not only to understand the implications for Earth’s biota, but also to understand the likely outcomes of declining biodiversity for human wellbeing.
Area of Interest:
Biodiversity, Habitat Loss, Threatened Species, Urban Land-Use Change, Human Health
