Dr. Antoine Adde

Postdoctoral Researcher

Department Aquatic Ecology

About Me

My research interests encompass biogeography and landscape ecology, focusing on understanding and predicting biodiversity distributions and their interactions with human societies to enhance ecosystem resilience in a rapidly changing world. I am particularly interested in how biodiversity conservation can foster more sustainable societies and support adaptation, especially through the lens of Nature's Contributions to People. My goal is to inform more effective conservation planning and promote sustainable interactions between natural and anthropogenic systems. Methodologically, I develop and apply advanced tools in spatiotemporal statistics, species distribution modeling, and ecosystem services modeling to generate predictive insights that support evidence-based policy.

Current Role

I am a postdoctoral researcher within the ETH-domain initiative SPEED2ZERO, where I contribute to Switzerland’s goals for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, focusing on biodiversity, climate change, and sustainable energy solutions.
