Onderzoek

Mijn onderzoek richt zich op vier thema’s:

  1. Eilandbiogeografie en biodiversiteit
  2. Duurzaamheid van sociaal-ecologische systemen
  3. Ruimtelijke overlap tussen biodiversiteit en culturele diversiteit
  4. Biogeografie in stedelijk en agrarisch gebied

Mijn onderzoek kenmerkt zich door een interdisciplinaire benadering waarin ik inzichten en methoden uit verschillende vakgebieden combineer.
