Irene is interested in fisheries and satellite oceanography studies. She is currently hired under the Arctic Challenge for Sustainability II (ARCs II) project to study the effects of climate variability and climate change on the biodiversity patterns and range changes of fish and invertebrates in the Bering Sea and adjacent Arctic waters. Check Irene's recent papers in Diversity and Distributions and Science of the Total Environment for some more context on the work she's up to.

As a master's student from China, my research topic is "Responses of natural and managed rivers to climate change near the Pan-Arctic region". I am dedicated to exploring how climate change impacts rivers in this critical region. By studying the interactions between natural and managed river systems, I aim to contribute to our understanding of environmental changes in the Pan-Arctic area.

My research is titled "Factors Influencing Public Awareness and Attitude Toward Endangered Species Conservation in Sapo National Park, Liberia." My work aims to bridge academic research with practical applications to benefit communities in developing countries and beyond. In recognition of my dedication to youth development and leadership, I was awarded the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Youth of the Year Award in 2019, Liberia.

I have a BSc in Biology from U. Mulawarman in Indonesia. I'm fascinated about mammal ecology and the application of camera traps. Given the significant roles that mammals play in ecology, it is imperative that we manage their habitats with great care. My master's research investigates how the ecotones surrounding the habitat of the Japanese northern pika affect its interactions with other animals.

My research focuses on the climate change impacts on mountainous communities in the Indian Himalayas, integrating indigenous knowledge into adaptation strategies. A key part of my work involves developing ecological calendars that combine traditional knowledge with climatic trends, helping communities anticipate future changes. I aim to bridge the gap between scientists, societies and policymakers to foster a more resilient and sustainable future.

I am from Bolivia and I studied Biology at Mayor de San Andrés University. I am interested in plant-pollinator dynamics and urban ecology. I also consider that environmental education is essential for conservation, especially in urban ecosystems. My Master’s degree research at Hokkaido University focuses on the impact of urbanization on insect-pollinator communities in Sapporo City.
