Jacobus Petersen
Interests I am a master’s student in Biodiversity, Conservation and Management (MSc BCM) at the University of Oxford, doing my dissertation research with Dr William Thompson. My project aims to develop metrics for the success of cocoa agroforestry projects, based on the analysis of both biophysical and socio-economic data, and test them with a variety […]
Zachary Posnik
Interest and Expertise My research with the Nature-Based Solutions Initiative will focus on building code in multiple geographic information systems which can identify and map nature-based solutions across the United Kingdom. This work will help to examine nature-based solutions opportunities, natural capital and ecosystem services accounting, green infrastructure implementation, and climate adaption and mitigation. The […]
Yajju Pradhan
Interests and Expertise I work with the Agile Initiative on the Forest & Food Nexus, examining deforestation control pathways in producer countries, with a focus on Brazil and Ghana, and their implications for agricultural outputs, trade flows, livelihoods, and UK food system resilience. More broadly, I research how trade in forest-risk commodities drives cascading risks […]
Ceri Putman
Interests and expertise I lead communications and outreach, for the University of Oxford Nature-based Solutions Initiative (NbSI) and the spin-out social venture Nature-based Insights (NBI). My role at NbSI is to maximise the reach and impact of NbS research, through communications channels and the media. Including overseeing digital and in-person events and marketing communications for […]
Phoebe Reid
Interests and expertise I am a fourth-year student studying Biology (Mbiol) at the University of Oxford, completing my Master’s research under the supervision of Dr William Thompson. My research will be based in Ghana, conducting fieldwork to explore the trade-off between climate adaptation, biodiversity and productivity in cocoa agroforestry systems. Specifically, I will analyse how […]

Michael Ruggeri
Interests and Expertise With a background in environmental sciences, agriculture, and rural development, I have developed a strong interest in what lies at the interface between land use dynamics, socio-economic systems, and biodiversity conservation. I also have a particular interest in scenario building and analysis, aimed at identifying potential pathways that can lead to desired […]
Lucy Scruton
Background I was a member of NbSI in the final year of my integrated Master’s course in Biology at Oxford. I am passionate about the environment, sustainable living, and sustainable development. I am particularly interested in behavioural change, which is why I chose to do research focussing on the decision-making component of sustainable farming.

Anusha Shivram
Interests and expertise I am responsible for expanding the interactive global map of NbS case studies to showcase best practice NbS case studies in the UK and globally. Through this platform, I aim to make nature-based solutions – along with their methods, governance structures, funding mechanisms, research insights, and more – readily accessible to practitioners, […]
Alison Smith
Interests and expertise My research focuses on solutions that tackle multiple environmental, economic and social problems at once, and identifying and mitigating the trade-offs that can arise. I focus mainly on nature-based solutions, natural capital, ecosystem services, green infrastructure, and the multiple benefits of climate adaptation and mitigation actions. My work includes developing methods of […]
Phoebe Smith
Interests and expertise I am a fourth-year Biology (MBiol) student at the University of Oxford, conducting my Master’s research under the supervision of Professor Nathalie Seddon. My research explores whether incorporating Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) influences the effectiveness of Nature-based Solutions for Climate Change Adaptation (NbS-CCA). I am collaborating with members of the NbSI team, […]
Aline Soterroni
Interests and expertise I am a Research Fellow at the Nature-based Solutions (NbSI) and Oxford Net Zero (ONZ) Initiatives. My research interests focus on scenarios modelling for environmental and climate policy evaluation, with a particular emphasis on Brazil. I have experience using regional economic land-use models to provide quantitative science-based results to Brazilian stakeholders and […]
Lila Stewart-Roberts
Interests and expertise I work on a range of research and outreach projects at the Nature-based Solutions Initiative (NbSI), including the Case Study platform and the Nature-based Solutions to Global Challenges Foundation Course. I also lead NbSI’s communications, working to maximise the reach and impact of NbS research through content creation across our website, social […]
Sky Stewart-Roberts
Interests and Expertise I am currently studying Biology at the University of Oxford, completing my final Master’s year under my supervisor Daniel Hending. During this year I will be researching, broadly, the effect of climate change on Chiropteran distributions across Madagascar. This project is particularly interesting given the unique biogeography and the highly endemic nature […]
