Meet the Scientists: Grasslands

We are delighted to announce a new programme of science talks to accompany Grasslands, our current exhibition in the John Hope Gateway. Hear Botanics experts delve into their specialist area of grasslands research.

Our next session will be held by Tshering Dorji, a PhD student from Bhutan with over a decade of experience in understanding grassy ecosystems of Bhutan. His research looks at the dynamics of woody encroachment and their impacts on rangeland resources of Bhutan. The aim of his work is to improve understanding of Bhutan’s rangeland ecosystems, support grassland conservation and highlight their ecological, cultural and economic importance to the country.
