Sophie Russell
School of Biological Sciences
Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology
I am an ecologist and post-doctoral researcher in the Future Coasts Lab. My research focuses on coastal and nearshore marine environments, and their potential for climate change mitigation. My work includes measuring the benefits of ecosystem restoration and modelling the carbon storage potential of coastal wetlands. I'm passionate about implementing natural climate solutions that benefit people and planet. I aim to contribute knowledge towards improved land management practices ensuring that coastal and nearshore marine environments continue to thrive in the face of climate change.
