Biography

Kendall is an ecologist working on applications of remote sensing to advance biodiversity conservation and management. She is particularly interested in applications to pollination and pollinator ecology, exploring how we can scale monitoring of pollinator communities and their interactions with plants across various environmental gradients. Kendall is currently a post-doctoral researcher at Oxford's Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery, working on remote sensing approaches to characterise pollinator diversity and plant-pollinator interactions in nature recovery landscapes of Eastern Ghana. She is also a stipendiary lecturer in Physical Geography at Worcester College. In her free time, she is probably writing environmental fiction or poetry—or working in her vegetable garden.
