In 2014 Hannah worked as a research assistant whilst publishing her honours thesis within the Fuller Conservation Lab. This assessed how climate change may impact the breeding habitat of arctic-breeding shorebirds, and consequently their migratory routes. The results indicate that for many species, habitat will severely contract in the coming years with strong consequences for migratory routes; these impacts will be more extreme than during the Earth's most recent warm period ~6000 years ago. Hannah's research interests lie at the intersection of climate change and conservation, including the role biogeography can play in forming expectations of species' responses.
