Martin Dallimer

Professor Martin Dallimer serves as Chair in Environmental Sustainability at Imperial College London's Centre for Environmental Policy within the Faculty of Natural Sciences. His research integrates natural and social sciences to address global environmental challenges including biodiversity loss, ecosystem degradation, and unsustainable resource use across low-, middle-, and high-income countries in Africa, South Asia, the UK, and Europe.

His core research spans Environmental Science and Management, Conservation and Biodiversity, Sustainable Agricultural Development, and Ecological Economics. He develops interdisciplinary frameworks measuring human values for nature through monetary and non-monetary metrics, examining connections between biodiversity, ecosystem restoration, and human well-being. His methodological toolkit includes fieldwork, GIS, choice experiments, statistical modeling, and participatory techniques with strong emphasis on stakeholder engagement throughout research cycles.

Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals intensifying focus on biodiversity-health linkages, urban green infrastructure, and technological innovations in monitoring. Key trends include robotics applications in conservation, socio-cultural dimensions of ecosystem valuation, and nature-based health interventions - particularly in Global South contexts. His work consistently bridges ecological data with social science insights to inform equitable policy solutions.

Dallimer maintains extensive collaborations across engineering, conservation, ecology, economics, and public health disciplines. His research philosophy prioritizes co-creation with stakeholders from project inception through knowledge exchange, ensuring scientific outputs translate into practical environmental management strategies that address real-world challenges while promoting social equity.
