Current research interests
Identifying lessons for integrating delivery of water policy goals from international examples. This is funded by the Scottish Government RESAS Strategic Research Programme 2016-2021.
Exploring how policy instruments interact to shape the management of soil, water and biodiversity. This is funded by the Scottish Government RESAS Strategic Research Programme 2016-2021
Understanding of the role of habitats and biodiversity in the production of ecosystem services, and of the impact of management interventions on ecosystem service flows, within the Scottish Government funded RESAS Strategic Research Programme 2016-2021.
Exploring narratives that shape European environmental policies, within the project MAGIC 'Moving Towards Adaptive Governance in Complexity: Informing Nexus Security', funded by EU H2020.
Evaluating the impact of the Scottish Government funded Community Resilience Development Officer Post.
Past research
Alba’s past interest was in understanding the effect of stakeholder participation in natural resource management on outcomes in ecosystem and in learning processes. For her master’s thesis, Alba examined the involvement of stakeholders in the development of a land-use plan in Doñana, in Spain, through the lens of adaptive co-management.
