Biography
Dr Roslyn Henry is an interdisciplinary research fellow. Roslyn’s research interests lie in exploring the interplay between food security, land use and biodiversity. She obtained her degree in zoology and her PhD in ecological modelling at the University of Aberdeen. Roslyn then worked with the University of Edinburgh for several years, developing global land use models to explore land use and food security issues, before returning to Aberdeen. She has expertise in individual-based ecological modelling and global land use modelling.

Research Overview
My research interests lie in exploring the interplay between food security, land use and biodiversity. My research is primarily modelling based and I am involved in developing the global land use model, LandSyMM (https://landsymm.earth/about-us) and the process based eco-evolutionary model RangeShifter (https://rangeshifter.github.io/portfolio/rangeshifter2.0/). I am particularly interested in how socio-economic factors, such as dietary choices and human health, may impact land use with consequences for biodiversity.
