Our research delves into the complex relationship between climate change and biodiversity, examining how shifts in temperature, rainfall, and extreme events shape ecosystems and influence species survival.

 

We investigate historical patterns, such as the extinction of Australia’s megafauna, to understand how species responded to past climate variability. Using advanced tools like global circulation models and species distribution models, we develop climate-change metrics to predict how species might adapt to future changes, migrate to new habitats, or face increased extinction risks.

 

Our work has identified the role of novel and disappearing climates in species adaptability, highlighted regions where ecosystems are most vulnerable, and improved methodologies to model species range shifts under changing conditions. These insights provide a strong foundation for guiding conservation strategies and maintaining ecosystem stability in a rapidly evolving world.
