Abbie is a Postdoctoral Research Associate working with Dr Tim Newbold on the international, interdisciplinary SENTINEL project (‘Social and Environmental Trade-offs in African Agriculture’ - https://www.sentinel-gcrf.org/). This project is investigating how Ethiopia, Ghana, and Zambia can work towards Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 of ‘zero hunger’ through agricultural expansion, whilst reducing inequalities and conserving ecosystems (SDGs 10 and 15). At UCL’s Centre for Biodiversity and Environment Research, Abbie is conducting spatial and statistical analyses to assess the present and future impacts of agriculture on terrestrial biodiversity in Ethiopia, Ghana, and Zambia.
Alongside her work on the SENTINEL project, Abbie continues to support projects aiming to increase the accessibility and use of large-scale biodiversity data in understudied ecosystems, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
