Will Rees
I am a PhD student with a background in Geography (BA Hons), Climate Change (MSc), and over 7 years of industry experience as an Ecological Consultant. My research interests centre around leveraging technology to facilitate landscape-scale decision-making and enhance biodiversity monitoring.
My research delves into the relationship between biodiversity and solar farms, aiming to optimise their siting and design to mitigate adverse impacts on landscape connectivity while maximising habitat benefits within solar landscapes. The research will employ AI techniques to enable landscape-scale and long-term ecological monitoring using both acoustic and video data.
