Thera Edwards

My interdisciplinary research includes agriculture and climate justice, landscape change and history , geomorphology, climate change responses and modelling, vegetation ecology and archaeology. Historical maps, aerial photographs, satellite imagery and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are key components of my research and analyses. Since 2004 my work has focused on environmental management and sustainable development, with particular emphasis on biodiversity, forestry, watersheds, agriculture and protected areas management. I have written and co-authored technical reports and papers for Jamaica and the Caribbean on behalf of several development agencies.
