Cécile works in the Ecosystem Science team at the School of Geography and the Environment. She manages the Global Ecosystems Monitoring network's data gathering efforts, providing data gathering and analysis support to the 70+ plots we have scattered across the globe. She is also the founding director of oxfordbiochar.com.
Prior to working at Oxford University, Cécile completed an MSc in Environmental technology at Imperial College, worked as a consultant for Environmental Resources Management, completed a PhD at Oxford University and worked as a consultant for the UN-REDD team of the United Nation Food and Agriculture Organisation, and as a fellow of the Oxford Martin School.
Cécile combines years of experience in climate change policy analysis with a background in tropical ecology and thorough understanding of forest ecosystem functioning, providing a unique multidisciplinary approach to her work. Her current research focusses on the ecosystem functioning and carbon dynamics of tropical forests, and their responses to a rapidly changing climate. Member of the Oxford Centre for Tropical Forests, and Oxford Biodiversity Network, she is also an active supporter of the Martin School's Illegal Wildlife Trade program. At night, when her three children are asleep, Cécile illustrates a picture book on de-extinction.
