Our Ecosystem
Summary
At the end of 2012 Ecometrica awarded two scholarships to Emily Woollen and Alice Duff to develop research from their respective PhD and Masters theses into Our Ecosystem apps. Emily Woollen, the Gold Scholar, developed an app over a two month internship at Ecometrica from her PhD research titled “Carbon dynamics in African miombo woodlands: from the leaf to the landscape”. Emily recently finished her PhD on carbon dynamics of African miombo woodlands at the School of GeoSciences, following on from her undergraduate degree in Environmental Sciences at the University of Edinburgh. Alice Duff, our Silver Scholar, developed an Our Ecosystem app with the help of analysts at Ecometrica to illustrate the correlation between the Armed Conflict Location and Event Dataset (ACLED) and fire incidents in Sub-Saharan Africa. Her MSc dissertation explored the correlation between political unrest and increased instances of forest fire in Sub-Saharan Africa, which formed the basis for her Our Ecosystem app.
