My major role was the development and construction of a relational database. The database facilitates the identification of relevant baselines and mechanisms for atypical states and provides a comprehensive evidence base to understand the dangers and benefits that population momentum poses for population health in the 21st Century. http://www.southampton.ac.uk/biosci/about/staff/rsc1c14.page

There is increasing interest in how management can support ecological resilience, in order to stem the widespread loss of global biodiversity. Current attempts to quantify resilience however remain so narrow in scope or of such limited scale that their results are unlikely to counteract this loss. This studentship aims to address this by constructing a generalised resilience framework that depends upon the simultaneous measurement of multiple cross-scale indicators, which underpin two inputs of resilience: integrity (the initial state of the system) and exposure (the magnitude, frequency and structure of disturbance that the system is subject to).
