معرفی
Clare Robinson is a Senior Lecturer in Ecology at the University of Manchester's School of Earth and Environmental Sciences. She holds a NERC CASE PhD from Lancaster University and a BSc (Hons) from the University of Exeter. Her research focuses on fungal communities, Arctic and Antarctic biogeochemistry, and soil microbial ecology. Key areas include peatland restoration, carbon cycling, and microbial roles in environmental processes.
Robinson has extensive experience in Arctic and Antarctic fieldwork, studying fungal community dynamics and their ecological impacts. She leads the Molecular Environmental Science research group, exploring microbial contributions to ecosystem resilience. Her work intersects with global climate change, soil health, and environmental policy.
Collaborations include international partnerships such as the University of Lund and the University Centre in Svalbard. She has served on review panels, including the British Embassy’s climate workshop in Moscow. Her research emphasizes practical applications, such as peatland restoration techniques and bioremediation strategies for contaminated sites.
- Education:
- NERC CASE PhD, University of Lancaster (1990)
- BSc (Hons), University of Exeter (1986)
Her research interests span fungal ecology, soil microbiology, and environmental sustainability. Recent projects include microbial controls on carbon loss in peatlands and the role of mycorrhizal fungi in metal transfer. She actively supervises PhD students and contributes to interdisciplinary initiatives like the Energy and Digital Futures research beacons.
