Markus Gradwohl has a background in Ecology (MSc, University of Vienna) and specialises in research on the interaction between human societies and their environment. His Research PhD project with support of the New Zealand International Doctoral Research Scholarship Programme investigates the Co- Evolution of New Zealand’s socio-ecological system during the last 160 years using the methods of historical material and energy flow analysis. The aim is to reflect the historical development of material exchange between New Zealand’s society and its natural environment up to the present and shed light on the context, preconditions and processes of the transition we see today and its implications for future sustainability.
