Dr Jamie Stevenson

Biography

Dr Jamie Stevenson is a scholarship lecturer and researcher in the School of Geosciences at the University of Aberdeen, and is a research associate of both the interdisciplinary Just Transition Lab and Northern Rivers Institute.  

Following on from his ecohydrological PhD, his research is primarily interested in how urban green spaces provide ecosystem services for land use and climate change mitigation and how these can be maximised by better understanding the role of vegetation type on these ecosystem services. He also undertakes ecohydrological and hydrochemical research in the more remote uplands, as well as researching the information content of datasets and how sampling strategies can be made more efficient.

He teaches across geography/ geoscience disciplines at both under- and post-graduate level, with subjects including sustainable development goals, ecology, climate change, hydrological modelling and Geographic Information Systems.

Research Overview

My research is primarily interested in how urban green spaces provide ecosystem services to the local area, and how these can be maximised by better understanding the role of vegetation type on these ecosystem services. I also undertake ecohydrological research in the more remote uplands, as well as researching the information content of datasets and how sampling strategies can be made more efficient.

Teaching Responsibilities

I teach across geography/ geoscience disciplines at both under- and post-graduate level, with subjects including sustainable development goals, ecology, climate change, hydrological modelling and Geographic Information Systems, including the supervision of MSc students.
