| Name |
|
| Dr Dan Chamberlain |
| Position |
| Senior Ecologist – Climate Change |
| Role |
| I am head of the Demography Unit within the Populations Research
Department. |
| Qualifications |
BSc (Hons) Environmental Biology, Oxford Polytechnic, 1987-1990.
DPhil Factors Affecting Reproductive Success in Rural Population
of Blackbirds, Edward Grey Institute, University of Oxford,
1990-94. |
| Research Interests/Responsibilities |
| I lead the BTO’s climate change research
programme, with responsibility for co-ordinating climate research
across the organisation and developing research proposals, often
in collaboration with other organisations, within the broad
theme of biodiversity impacts of climate change. I also have
a number of subsidiary research interests, including impacts
of agricultural management on bird populations and the ecology
of birds in gardens and urban habitat. |
