Mapping the global impact of anthropogenic threats to freshwater biodiversity
My research focuses on understanding the spatial distribution of anthropogenic threats to freshwater biodiversity. Ultimately, I am interested in relating geographical patterns of threats and general freshwater biodiversity facets to conservation interventions on a global scale. Through this, I hope to provide an understanding of key conservation areas needed to protect freshwater biodiversity under different scenarios.
