Torsten Krause

Co-leader, Adaptation to climate change scenarios, Policy guidance and research innovation orientationn
Contributor, co operation and communication

Torsten is Assistant Professor at Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies (LUCSUS). His research interests include marine governance, species conservation, traditional ecological knowledge.nnWithin the project, Torsten will mostly be involved in developing policy guidance for further research and innovation orientations (lead by Prof. Emily Boyd). Within this task, the aim is to develop a framework for evaluating readiness for policy change based on the latest science provided by the MaCoBioS partners. He is also supervising doctoral researchers within the project.nnTorsten is very much looking forward to learn from all the partners involved. He also hopes that the project will contribute to a more sustainable governance of marine and coastal ecosystems, recognizing the interlinkages between the land and the sea, and between people and the environment.

Fabiola Espinoza Cordova

Leader, Adaptation to climate change scenarios

Fabiola is a Doctoral Researcher at Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies (LUCSUS). Her research interests are climate change adaptation, vulnerability, resilience, marine and coastal governance, ecosystem-based management.nWithin the project, she will coordinate and contribute with other scientists to develop a multidimensional resilience index, which will allow to analyse through indicators how different groups of local actors face up-coming cumulative impacts linked to climate change.nnFabiola hopes that, through the MaCoBioS project, regional and local stakeholders will be prepared to implement adaptation strategies within coastal marine socio-ecosystems that are sustainable and just.​
