May 2014 – Ambroise Baker's Research

8th Shallow Lakes Conference

This conference will take place October 12 – 17, 2014 in Antalya, Turkey and anyone with an interest in shallow lake ecosystems is invited to take part. There will be several famous researchers presenting their work, such as John Smol from Queen’s Univerity (Canada) and Luc De Meester from the Univerity of Leuven (Belgium), poster sessions and field excursions.

About Me

My work focuses on how plants, biodiversity and complex ecosystems respond to environmental change. Answering this question is critical to developing: 1) guidance to accelerate ecological recovery and 2) evidence-based policies to protect the environment and human well-being in the context of global change. New evidences in my research chiefly come directly from studying plants, the natural environment and large-scale, long-term ecological systems.

Teesside University Profile

I am a Senior Lecturer in Ecology, member of the Earth, Ecology and Environment research collective at Teesside University, UK. I was previously a post-doctoral researcher based in UCL (University College London), UK, working on landscape connectivity, biodiversity and ecosystem function in freshwater networks (projects: Lake BESS, Hydroscape). My PhD, completed in the Oxford Long-term Ecology Lab at the University of Oxford, UK, was a contribution to the hotly debated conservation practice of rewilding, using a long-term perspective.
