Jeff Price is an Associate Professor at the School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, and a member of the Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation, Environmental Biology, and ClimateUEA. He holds a Ph.D. in Zoology/Animal Psychology from Wayne State University (1995). His research focuses on global terrestrial biodiversity, climate change impacts, conservation efforts, and climate refugia. He co-leads the Wallace-pARCs Database, a free-access resource mapping biodiversity refugia globally. Price has contributed to major projects like the OpenCLIM_LANDS initiative (UKRI-funded), assessing climate-resilient land management strategies. His work emphasizes multi-hazard risk assessments in regions like the UK Fens, and he collaborates internationally on climate mitigation pathways and biodiversity protection under differing global warming scenarios.
Key projects include evaluating climate overshoot risks (EU Horizon 2020) and developing frameworks for national climate adaptation. Media expertise spans climate impacts, conservation, and biodiversity. His research outputs span articles, datasets, and commissioned reports, often addressing thresholds like 1.5°C warming and its implications for species survival and natural capital. Price actively engages in consultancy for resilience planning and hosts academic visitors, furthering knowledge exchange in climate science.
He has advised on high-profile initiatives like the Future Fens project, integrating ecological, agricultural, and infrastructural resilience. His work bridges science and policy, informing strategies to mitigate biodiversity loss and climate risks in ecosystems worldwide.
