Roy Remme

Roy Remme has established himself as a prominent researcher in urban ecosystem services and environmental modeling through his work as a postdoctoral scholar with Stanford University's Natural Capital Project. His academic journey began in the Netherlands, earning his BSc in Environmental Sciences from Utrecht University and MSc in Climate Studies from Wageningen University, where he later completed his Ph.D. developing spatial models for ecosystem services and biodiversity accounting. His professional experience includes significant contributions at the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and Environment and Statistics Netherlands, where he developed spatial modeling tools and national ecosystem accounts. At Stanford's Natural Capital Project, he focuses on developing and applying Urban InVEST tools, particularly for recreation and health-related ecosystem services, helping cities worldwide quantify and map the benefits of natural infrastructure. His work bridges the gap between environmental science and urban planning, providing decision-makers with practical tools to incorporate nature's value into urban design and management.
