Robert’s work at Forest Research is currently focused on applying approaches from finance to managing risk in wooded landscapes as part of the Connected Treescapes project.

Robert joined Forest Research in January 2022 after finishing his MSc in Economics at the University of East Anglia (UEA) the previous year. For his thesis, he used the hedonic pricing method to estimate the value of river quality in Norfolk by combining housing and geographical data. He is interested in the linkages between the environment and economy, especially in a spatial context. He completed a PGDip in Ecology, also at UEA.
