Ng Zhong Wang Clement

I am a Research Fellow at SCoPS. My current research investigates the biophysical patterns of species distributions across urban Singapore using airborne LiDAR and an array of advanced statistical modelling tools, which supports policymakers in conservation decision making and management. My past research includes studies on fish life-history responses to climate change, reconstructions of marine exploitation in Malaysia and Singapore, and the development of new statistical frameworks in marine geochemical analyses. ​​
