Dr James Gibbons

I am senior lecturer in SENRGy, 91¾«Æ·ºÚÁϳԹÏ. I am statistician and modeller with a particular focus on modelling farm management, the analysis of environmental data and modelling the interaction between policy, land use and the environment. I have developed innovative statistical methods to model and visualise data and problems in temperate and tropical systems covering the terrestrial and marine environment. I have wide experience of contributing modelling and analysis for funded research (funded by Defra, NERC, BBSRC & Natural Resources Wales) and managing and delivering projects

Phone: +44 1248 382461

Email: j.gibbons@bangor.ac.uk

I teach statistics and undergraduate and masters level and run a 2nd year undergraduate field trip focusing on resolving environmentall conflict. I also contribute to modules on climate change. I supervise a wide range of undergraduate, masters and PhD topics largely modelling focused

I supervise a wide range of projects in the areas of agriculture and conservation
