Brenda D'Acunha
Dr D’Acunha is a peatland biometeorologist at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology. She is interested in quantifying water, energy and greenhouse gas fluxes from natural and managed peatlands. Her work seeks to improve GHG and water accounting, provide data for validating remote sensing products and hydrological and land-surface models, and inform climate change mitigation strategies.
Thomas David
Dr Thomas David is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Department of Land Economy with Professor Laura Diaz Anadon. He uses data characterising socioeconomic variables to investigate suitable policy instruments for landscape regeneration, conducting policy analysis to determine the effectiveness and distributional benefits to landscapes and communities.
Katy Faulkner
Dr Katy Faulkner is a Postdoc Research Associate in the Pellegrini group, in the Department of Plant Sciences. Katy's project involves quantify greenhouse gas fluxes and soil organic matter stability across a network of farms with varying agricultural management legacies. Specifically, Katy is interested in exploring soil organo-mineral associations and how these effect Fenland ecosystem processes. Twitter: @katyjfaulkner
Jeremy Fonvielle
Dr Fonvielle is a biogeochemist investigating how the transformation of organic matter by microbes affects ecosystem function. His work consists of characterizing ecosystems using geospatial tools before going to the field for measuring carbon fluxes and sampling environmental DNA and organic molecules.
Rachel Georgiou
Rachel Georgiou is the Field Studies Coordinator within the Centre for Landscape Recovery and is based at the Centre for Atmospheric Science, Department of Chemistry. She has worked extensively in the field on both marine and terrestrial projects, has circumnavigated the British Isles on a sailing vessel co-ordinating research into Atlantic marine biodiversity and plastics, and has recently worked in West-Greenland on Arctic pollution. She has received an MPhil from the Scott Polar Research Institute with research into climate-induced ecosystem change in the Siberian Arctic.
Timoleon Kipouros
Dr Timos Kipouros is Lead Researcher and Principal Research Associate in Prof John Clarkson's Change Management group in the Department of Engineering. The group researches the impact of change propagation in complex systems made up of components, activities or people. In particular, they are researching how knowledge of change propagation can influence the development of product architectures and design processes. Timos' roles in CLR include understanding the complex web of stakeholder organisations and projects taking place in the Fens, and helping to rethink the drainage system in partnership with water industry and engineering professionals.
Neil Mahon
Neil is part of the Department of Zoology working in Dr Lynn Dicks’ Lab. His interests are broadly in ecological interaction networks, agroecology, and entomology. He is particularly interested in addressing key knowledge gaps surrounding the historic and ongoing impacts of human activity on pollinator, beetle, and dragonfly communities. He completed his MSc in Wildlife Conservation and Management at University College Dublin.
Tom Marquand
As a PhD student in the Turchyn Group, Department of Earth Sciences, Tom will use measurements of stable isotope ratios in Fenland sediment cores to quantify the subsurface rates of greenhouse gas production and consumption. As his project progresses, Tom aims to measure the effects of changing water table depth and seasonality on important soil carbon cycle processes.
Valeria Pannunzio
Dr Valeria Pannunzio is an Research Associate at Cambridge Public Health and a visitor at the Engineering Design Centre. Valeria has a background in health systems design and previously worked both in industry and in academia in the Netherlands (at Philips Design and TU Delft).
