Katie is a PhD Candidate in the School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability in the Faculty of Environment. She is currently researching historical ecology; more specifically, how traditional woodland management strategies can sustainably benefit people today. Supervised by Professor Andrew Trant, Katie researches the ancient woodlands of Herstmonceux Castle Estate, UK, and how historic regimes of coppicing increases biodiversity and carbon storage. Katie has completed two field seasons at the estate and is excited to both analyze this large ecological dataset as well as evaluate specific changes over time. Katie is thrilled to research this large and impressive woodland.
