Steve Tilling is a trained biologist, with a degree in zoology and a PhD in ecological genetics. Soon after being awarded his doctorate he joined the Field Studies Council (FSC) eventually becoming the charity's Director of Communications. His FSC field teaching and project management experience has involved working with teachers, students, community volunteers, professional scientists and government policy-leaders in a wide range of environmental, education and 'citizen science' projects throughout the UK, eastern Europe, south and east Asia and central America. His project sites have ranged from Bornean rain forests, Himalayan mountains and Vietnamese rice fields to Caribbean coral reefs. Investigations into human environmental impacts and climate change have featured prominently throughout. Steve published his first book on the 'Greenhouse Effect' for secondary school scientists nearly 25 years ago!
