• Biography/ Background

  Patrick O'Connor has a background in research and consulting in natural resource management science and program evaluation. Patrick is also Managing Director of the consulting company O’Connor NRM  and holds a Chinese Academy of Sciences President's Fellowship at the Institute of Urban Environments, Xiamen, China. Patrick’s consulting and research work focusses on the design, creation, implementation and evaluation of markets for ecosystem services. Patrick works on projects aimed at overcoming negative environmental externalities from agricultural production systems and has created markets for the conservation of soil and biodiversity and for carbon sequestration. Patrick undertakes research on the design of novel contracts for land management, and toward understanding of price-setting behaviors of landholders supplying ecosystem services. Patrick also works in program evaluation, designing and implementing evaluations to improve program decisions or demonstrate policy and program impact. 

   

  Patrick has an additional interest in the application of applied linguistics to scientific writing and is co-author of the successful book 'Writing Scientific Research Articles: Strategy and Steps' which sets out a genre-based approach to training scientists to write research papers.
