NERCscience | From Field to Computer: A Day in the Life of an Ecologist - Meet Dr Micheal Pocock @NERCscience | Uploaded May 2010 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
If you are passionate about the environment and love working with nature, a career in ecology may be just what you're looking for. In this NERC careers clip, we meet Dr Michael Pocock, an ecologist whose research focuses on the impact of habitat fragmentation on flower pollination.

By surveying plants and counting the individual species of plants, as well as the insects that pollinate them, Dr Pocock is using field data and computer analysis to understand what would happen if specific plants disappear, or if the bumblebee disappears, and how it will impact certain plants.

Join us in this exciting video to learn more about the fascinating world of ecology and the vital role it plays in understanding the impact of human activities on the environment.
