Spatial, Conservation and Policy Studies Lab
We are a research group based at the Asian School of the Environment (ASE) in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. As an interdisciplinary group, we work on a range of topics; these can be generally categorised into three main (overlapping) areas of focus—spatial ecology and conservation, conservation science and policy, and applied ecology.
About the group
The Spatial, Conservation and Policy Studies (SCoPS) lab is a research group at ASE, NTU.
We started in May 2024.
We are a team of researchers from a diverse range of backgrounds, focused on finding better ways to conserve biodiversity and deal with climate change. This includes identifying strategies that are ecologically sound, financially viable and socially responsible. We take inspiration from a range of disciplines (e.g., engineering, ecology, social sciences), with the goal of improving our approach to conservation and climate change.
​
SCoPS lab is a continuation of Spatial and Conservation Ecology (SpaCE) lab, which was at the National University of Singapore.

ASE is a diverse school focusing on the connections between geosciences, ecology, society and Earth systems. Our approach integrates these disciplines to examine big environmental challenges both in Southeast Asia and globally. We conduct cutting-edge research on topics that include ecology, geohazards, climate change, sea-level rise, environmental sustainability, conservation of environment and biodiversity, and interactions between environment and society.
