Jasper Slingsby
Senior Lecturer
Dr Jasper Slingsby is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Cape Town and a Research Associate at the South African Environmental Obervation Network (SAEON). His research is focused on global change in South African ecosystems and revolves around field studies and spatial data analyses with the goal of informing policy and management. Most of his projects focus on fire, water, land cover (including invasive species) and climate change, but have increasingly included people in the mix as he’s come to accept that sustainable management of ecosystems has little to do with ecology.
