Natalia Aristizábal
Postdoctoral Fellow
Natalia has used participatory approaches to work with farmers and coffee cooperatives in Costa Rica to positively impact farming strategies and landscape policies. Now she is developing a platform for the Ecosystem Services Observatory System for Canada (ESOS-C) that brings together data and stories to help resource managers reframe the decisions they must make.
Yehui Zhong
Postdoctoral Fellow
I study how ecosystem functions and services respond to climate change and anthropogenic disturbances, using a combination of field, lab, and big data approaches. I am currently focused on developing and enhancing ecosystem service layers across Canada to support evidence-based policies on ecosystem management.
Jackie Hamilton
PhD Candidate
I study the complex but often overlooked connections between humans and trees using a mix of methods. I hope to shine light on the less obvious ways we're intertwined with nature to foster a greater understanding of how these relationships matter.
Peter Morrison
MSc Student
I study the benefits people obtain from ecosystems, how they are defined, and the underlying pathways creating those benefits. My long-term goal is to help develop tools and analysis that will support better management of biodiversity.
