معرفی
Andrew Suggitt is a Researcher at Northumbria University, specializing in the impacts of environmental change on biodiversity. His work investigates how microclimatic conditions interact with global climate shifts to shape species' niches, particularly focusing on extinction risks under contemporary climate change.
- PhD in Ecology (University of York, 2007-11)
- Member of British Ecological Society (2008+)
- Trained Mental Health First Aider and LGBTQ+ ally
His research combines microclimate modeling with land-use data to study long-term biodiversity shifts in Great Britain. Key projects include identifying climatic refugia for range-retracting species and assessing climate-land use interactions affecting extinction risks.
Current PhD supervision includes projects on:
- Nocturnal pollinators (Lepidoptera) in urbanized environments
- Climate change refugia in Northern Britain
- Marginal coral reef ecosystems in the Caribbean
- Climate adaptation in spatial planning for health inequalities
- Amphibian conservation in Seychelles
He advocates for field-based experiential learning and maintains active collaborations across UK, Europe, and global institutions.
