Aarhus University, Denmark
Prof. Signe Normand is a macroecologist and vegetation ecologist whose research focuses on understanding how individuals, species, communities, and overall biodiversity respond to both natural and anthropogenic drivers. Her work aims to address fundamental questions in ecology while also contributing to applied knowledge that supports biodiversity conservation in the face of global change.
Her research spans four main components: (i) empirical studies to gain insight on the drivers of ecological patterns and responses across time and space, (ii) the improvement and development of actionable models of future global change impact on biodiversity, (iii) utilizing the potential of drone-based remote sensing in combination with air- and satellite-borne remote sensing for monitoring, understanding, and predicting vegetation and biodiversity dynamics, and (iv) creating the scientific basis for spatially explicit local to global sustainable solutions that contribute to the recovery of biodiversity.
