I use computer models and maps to understand how the wider environment, and we as humans, affect the diversity of life on the planet.
More about Abbie:
I am currently investigating the impacts of agriculture on biodiversity in Africa, to try to find ways to balance the needs of changing societies, growing economies, and threatened wildlife. Previously, I studied creatures living in deep-sea hydrothermal-vent habitats.
Questions answered by Abbie:
If the ocean pressure can break human bones, why don't whales and other species die?
What do marine biologists do?
Why can't a diver go to Mariana trench? We're going to space, yet this part of ocean isn't explored
What career path/degrees/A level would I need to take to become a vet/marine biologist?
Why can't a diver go to Mariana trench? We're going to space, yet this part of ocean isn't explored
How much pressure builds up at the deepest point in the ocean?
