Expertise: Conservation, Geography, Oceanography, and Ecology
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:
Is taking A-Level Geography worth it?
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?
When whales collapse their lungs there is still lung matter present. Why doesn't that get crushed?
