Joseph J. Bailey

I am an ecologist and conservationist, interested in advancing our understanding of patterns of plant and animal life. In particular, I use information on geodiversity, which relates to landforms, geology, soils, and hydrology, to do this. My research on linking biodiversity and geodiversity – living and non-living nature – has both theoretical (e.g. ecological understanding) and applied (e.g. conservation in the face of environmental change) dimensions. I also have a significant interest in protected areas in the UK and worldwide.
