November 2022 – Ambroise Baker's Research

I’m delight to provide a link to a recently recorded podcast with Amy Dover and Ali Reid about extinction, rewilding, creativity and bears.

This podcast is an initiative part of “An Artist and a Planet […] series of podcasts created by MIMA, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art. The series was inspired by MIMA’s dedication to the environment.

We talk with artists and researchers about ecology, to share behind the scenes research from MIMA’s artistic programme and research from across Teesside University.”

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 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.
