Susan Page

Professor Susan Page is a Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Leicester’s Department of Geography. Her research focuses on peatland ecosystems, particularly in the UK and tropical regions, addressing land use impacts, greenhouse gas emissions, and subsidence. She leads multinational projects exploring sustainable peatland management to balance environmental and socioeconomic needs, collaborating with rural communities in Indonesia and the UK. Her work emphasizes climate change mitigation, fire management, and interdisciplinary approaches to conservation.

Education details are not explicitly listed, but her career reflects extensive fieldwork and academic leadership. Research interests include peatland hydrology, carbon dynamics, and community-driven solutions for peatland restoration. Notable projects include the Peat Emit Project and Defra’s Lowland Peat initiatives. Publications span remote sensing techniques, policy frameworks, and biogeochemical studies.

Her work bridges science and policy, advocating for peatland conservation as a nature-based solution. She collaborates with international organizations to improve GHG reporting tools and supports grassroots governance in fire-prone regions. While no formal awards are listed, her contributions to tropical peatland science are widely recognized in academic circles.
