Research interests
Please visit my research blog, Ambroise Baker's Research, where I post details about my new publications, research impact, research activities and any important career progress.
My work focuses on how biodiversity and ecosystems respond to environmental change. Answering this question is critical to developing evidence-based policies to protect biodiversity, the environment and ecosystem services in the current context of global change. New evidences in my research chiefly come directly from field studies in the natural environment such as vegetation surveys and from palaeoecological investigations using biological proxies such as fossil pollen, fungal spore, macrofossil and phytolith.
Learning and Teaching Interests and Activities
I have a keen interest in teaching field skills in ecology and supervising student projects in my field of research.
I contribute to teaching the modules as follows:
- (FY) Life on Earth
- (Y1) Animal and Plant Biology
- (Y2) Ecology and Biodiversity
- (Y2) Science Communication and Bioethics
- (Y3) Biogeography and Conservation
In addition, I have an interest in facilitating student’s and researcher’s writing by offering writing retreats.
