Dr. Paul Armsworth is a Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology and the Director of the Armsworth Lab. Dr. Armsworth researches the ways ecology and socioeconomic sciences can be integrated more effectively to inform conservation strategies and the management of natural resources. His research approach is highly interdisciplinary and integrates mathematical modeling, statistical analyses, GIS, ecological field surveys, socioeconomic data, and other approaches. Ultimately, Dr. Armsworth’s research aims to inform both biodiversity conservation strategies and the management of ecosystem services (benefits nature provides to people) and often involves close collaborations with NGOs, public agencies and for-profit companies.
