SCoPS Lab
The Spatial, Conservation and Policy Studies (SCoPS) lab is an interdisciplinary group based at the ASE, in NTU. The team focuses on finding innovative ways to conserve biodiversity and addressing climate change. We come from a diverse range of backgrounds but we our work tends to revolve around three broad themes—conservation science and policy, spatial ecology and conservation, and applied ecology.
​
Our team is actively growing,
and so too will our interests and perspectives.
