Summary
Faith Jones is a researcher with nine years of experience bridging field ecology and quantitative modelling to understand biodiversity and climate impacts on crops and forests. With a PhD from St Andrews and postdoctoral roles in Canada and Sweden, she combines Bayesian inference (Stan) and species distribution approaches with hands-on fieldwork from Welsh countryside to Trinidadian rivers and boreal forests. Her recent work models winegrape cold hardiness to deliver a live dashboard for growers in the Okanagan, translating ecological insight into practical risk management. Equally at home communicating science to policymakers, prisons, schools and growers, she has a track record of making research accessible and actionable. She brings a rare mix of technical modelling skill, extensive field experience, and a persistent focus on improving human–environment relationships.
