Climate Change and BioAdaptation Division: Staff

Staff, Postdocs and Students

SANBI's Climate Change and BioAdaptation Division staff, postdocs and students have a unique and diverse blend of skills and backgrounds. Although the group's strengths historically lie in plant ecology and physiology, we now include spatial and demographic modeling, ornithology, evolutionary, behavioural and population ecology, programme development, management, policy and planning skills. We also work collaboratively with a wide array of teams in South Africa and across the globe.
