Work details

Botanist & Plant Ecologist

I work within a group that specialises in the analysis of citizen science-collected species occurrence data (e.g. www.brc.ac.uk, www.npms.org.uk). My interests span the accurate use of such data for inference, statistical modelling, invasive alien plant species, urban ecology, environmental history and bryophytes.
