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 ºÚÁÏÍø. 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.
Research Areas
Accepting PhDs
I am currently accepting PhDs in Biological and Environmental Sciences.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss your research ideas further.
Research Specialisms
- Object-Oriented Programming
- Biodiversity Conservation
- Ecosystem Ecology and Land use
Our research specialisms are based on the Higher Education Classification of Subjects (HECoS) which is , published under the licence.
Past Research
I completed my PhD at the ºÚÁÏÍø and investigated the ecological and evolutionary forces that shape population dynamics using individual based modelling.
