Dr Amelia Bridges
Postdoctoral Research Fellow & National Geographic Explorer
I am a research scientist based at the University of Plymouth in the UK. My research interests broadly fall into two fields: spatial ecology in the deep sea, and the use of science to inform policy and marine spatial planning.
Research Focus
The common theme throughout my research has been science to support sustainable management. I am particularly interested in how to best facilitate the use of predictive model outputs in ocean policy to ensure ecosystem-based management is based on best available data, and is possible for the deep sea despite the general paucity of data.
Latest Publication
Filling the data gaps: Transferring models from data-rich to data-poor deep-sea areas to support spatial management
Dr. Amelia Bridges and her colleagues have recently published a paper outlining first application of model transfer, a novel spatial modelling approach, to deep-sea habitats. The paper describes the methodology and the results obtained, and provides an example of how this approach could inform spatial management decisions in the future.
