About Nicole Jiao

Hi! My name is Nicole and I'm a first year Biology & Geography student at Durham University.

I am particularly interested in restoration ecology, with a focus on rewilding which my research project is centred around. I aim to assess how rewilding of an upland mountain valley has increased forest structure and composition heterogeneity, which could lead to more stable microclimates. Subsequently, rewilding may be an approach to help improve the climate resilience of high biodiversity regions by providing increased microrefugia, lowering the risk of climate-induced extinction for species.

Outside of academia, I enjoy reading, gardening and yoga. I'm excited to be part of the 2026 Laidlaw cohort!
