Felix Eigenbrod is Associate Professor of Ecology, Principal Investigator (Spatial Ecology), and Co-Chair of Sustainability Science at Southampton. A landscape ecologist by training, he is broadly interested in quantifying the often complex interactions between biodiversity, society and ecosystem services, and at identifying the spatial and temporal scales at which tradeoffs and interactions occur. His research utilises GIS and different modelling techniques to develop novel methodologies for linking existing environmental, social and biological datasets to fully understand the processes underlying the wide range of ecosystem services used by humans, and how human impacts affect global distributions of species.  This work is highly interdisciplinary, frequently involving collaboration with specialists in other fields, ranging from biophysical modellers (e.g. hydrologists and dynamic vegetation modellers) to economists and human geographers.
