Tahia is a Research and Teaching Fellow at UBC. She examines the potential for forests and other greenspaces in and around cities to increase human well-being and build social-ecological resilience to climate change impacts. She also works on practical strategies to strengthen the relationship between people and nature, particularly in the context of cities. Tahia is teaching three core courses at the Faculty of Forestry: Urban Forest and Well-Being (UFOR200), Urban Forestry Administration, Policy and Law (UFOR402), and Urban Forest Inventory and Assessment (UFOR220). In past work with the Stockholm Environment Institute, Tahia led applied research to support climate change adaptation through nature-based solutions. She has worked in 20 countries with local communities, NGOs and governments. In most of her projects, she applies interdisciplinary approaches by integrating methods from quantitative modelling to participatory mapping, and qualitative assessment. Tahia has a PhD in ecosystems science from the University of Oxford.
