Biography

Dr Emma Tebbs has expertise in the application of Earth observation technology to issues of biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. Her research concentrates on the remote sensing of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, with particular focus on lakes, rivers and their catchments. She is Deputy Chair of the GEO AquaWatch Steering Committee and she leads King’s Earth Observation and Environmental Sensing research hub.

Her recent research projects have included investigating the impacts of hydropower dam developments on environmental change in Ethiopia, as part of the ESRC-DfID funded project, 'Shifting In/equality Dynamics in Ethiopia: from Research to Application (SIDERA)'. She has also investigated current and potential future applications of satellite soil moisture observations as PI for a NERC India-UK Water Centre (IUKWC) project.

As part of the European Space Agency funded Floating Weed Manager project (2019-2020), she led the development of a novel method for mapping invasive floating aquatic plants globally using new satellite sensors. Prior to joining King’s, Emma was a Research Associate in Spatial Ecology and Remote Sensing at the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (2013-2015). She has a PhD from the University of Leicester (2014) in ‘Remote Sensing for the Study of Ecohydrology in East African Rift Lakes’.
