Dr. Peter Andrew Henrys

My role within CEH involves providing statistical expertise to assist environmental scientists with their research. This involves both the design, analysis and interpretation of survey and experimental data. I have great experience of analysing large scale, long term data sets and I act as the statistical lead across many projects and different monitoring activities within CEH (e.g. the Environmental Change Network and Countryside Survey). My main research interest lies in spatial statistics and methods for understanding distributions across space and time, whilst also understanding the related uncertainty. My most recent work in this field has been the development of a statistical tool to produce national scale maps of natural capital and ecosystem services from survey based observations.

Generally, my main research interests include: Spatial statistics and spatial modelling, species niche modelling, creating web-based statistical tools, aligning spatial data at different resolutions, time series analysis including spectral approaches, survey techniques and sampling designs, line transect methods and distance sampling.
