Dr Alan Grainger
Research overview
How can we construct reliable scientific knowledge about the global environment and communicate this effectively to international and national policy makers?
Dr Alan Grainger's research interests include the modelling and monitoring of tropical deforestation and land use change, and the study of the role of tropical forest biodiversity and carbon stores in global environmental change. His interests also extend to the fields of sustainable development, desertification, and the analysis of forest policy and institutions.
