About Tabitha's Work
I am an environmental modeller with a background in environmental sciences and archaeology. My interdisciplinary research explores human-environment interactions within the Holocene and Anthropocene with a focus on biodiversity, sustainability, and large-scale landscape modifications. My research interests include: understanding the effects of human activities on biodiversity and how we can enhance the future utility of land use practices for biodiversity and conservation management; using agent-based models to explore the socio-environmental factors that influenced the development and resilience of historical agricultural systems in East Africa; and understanding landscape changes and responses to Holocene sea-level rise in the North Sea using computer simulations and agent based models. I have also conducted research that explores African environmental histories through the use of colonial artifacts and collections held at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford.
