Jacqui is an Evidence Synthesis specialist, who was based at ECEHH until 2024, focused on the fields of environment, health and agriculture, and primarily on quantitative research. She has produced and advised on numerous systematic evidence reviews and maps for academic institutions (University of Exeter, Bangor University), non-governmental international organisations (Stockholm Environment Institute; Green Climate Fund; Global Environment Facility) and government departments (Swedish Environmental Protection Agency; DfID).
Jacqui set up the training faculty of the Collaboration for Environmental Evidence at the Centre for Evidence-Based Conservation in 2009, as it was emerging as a world-leader in systematic reviews in the environmental field. Alongside international colleagues, she has developed and published methodologies and guidelines for evidence synthesis.
During her 6 years at ECEHH, Jacqui produced evidence syntheses for the GCRF Blue Communities (£5.8m), for the Horizon 2020 SOPHIE project around oceans and human health (£1.8 million) and EPSRC-funded ExeMPLaR project investigating plastics and health (£1m) and the ROCC project researching on the resilience of UK coastal communities (£1.6m). Now an honorary member of ECEHH, she continues to work with the Training Faculty of the Collaboration for Environmental Evidence, based at the Centre. Jacqui continues to design and deliver specialist training in Evidence Synthesis, and is a specialist consultant in Evidence Synthesis for the environmental sciences.
