Guy Lomax

I am a PhD student in the Centre for Doctoral Training in Environmental Intelligence. I use satellite remote sensing data and machine learning to understand the human footprint on natural landscapes and the impact of conservation interventions. My PhD research explores the impact of climate change and human land use on rangeland ecosystems in Africa. I am also involved in a project evaluating the use of the synthetic control method to define improved baselines for carbon credits generated by tropical forest protection programmes.

Prior to my PhD, I worked at The Nature Conservancy on the potential of improved conservation, restoration and land management to mitigate climate change globally, as well as on technological and biological methods for atmospheric carbon dioxide removal. I hold an MSc in Sustainable Energy Futures from Imperial College London and an MSci in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge.
