Dr Konrad Uebel

My research has a focus on people-nature interactions, aiming to further understand how ecological features and biodiversity within urban blue and green spaces can facilitate mental and physical health benefits for people. I also have a key interesting in further understanding motivations and barriers towards pro-environmental behaviours amongst both the general public and private landholders. Overall, I hope my research can contribute to an evidence base that can inform the management of green spaces for both ecological and social outcomes. 

I completed my PhD at the University of Queensland in December 2021, then completed a period of postdoctoral research (January 2022 - February 202) at the Queensland University of Technology, before six months at the environmental consulting firm EcoFutures. From February 2023 I have been placed at the University of Surrey as a Research Fellow where I am completing a two year contract on a project investigating the influence of differing acoustic properties of natural soundscapes in promoting mental well-being.
