Durance, Isabelle - Cardiff University

个人简介

Following a degree in Natural Sciences and a Masters in Engineering (Ingenieur Agronome, Agrotech Paris), I worked in Research & Development in an industrial context (Danone Belgium). I then embarked on a PhD in Landscape Ecology working in Ukraine and France, and developed my research increasingly using freshwater ecosystems as a model during a 10 year lectureship in France (Rouen). With the support of the Daphne Jackson charity, a charity established to help women back into science, I obtained 3 independent research fellowships after my career break, before being recently awarded a senior lectureship in Cardiff School of Biosciences. In turn, over the past 5 years in Cardiff, I have had the chance to contribute to academic and public life through involvement in: Working groups on biodiversity and ecosystem services, for example by joining the Ecosystem Service Partnership steering committee (ESP), contributing to two chapters of the UK National Ecosystem Assessment, and to the Future Earth working group on biodiversity monitoring. Peer reviewing processes for example as part of the NERC peer-review college, NERC and Horizon 2020 panels, and journal associate editorship of the International Journal of Biodiversity Science, Ecosystem Services & Management. Training and mentoring of early career researchers

研究领域

Freshwaters are hot spots of biodiversity and also vital natural resources on which human well-being depends. However, multiple and often conflicting uses of these waters and their catchments have significantly degraded freshwater ecosystems worldwide. Evidence and tools are urgently needed to guide the management of freshwaters and their catchments within safe environmental limits. Using an ecosystem approach, my work blends large scale empirical analysis with smaller scale in-situ manipulations, to address pressing questions on: The role of river biodiversity in sustaining key ecosystem services The role of landscape processes in regulating freshwater biodiversity The impact of global changes on freshwater ecosystem
