Supported by the Marsh Christian Trust and administered by the British Ecological Society, the Marsh Award recognises an outstanding recent discovery or development which has had a significant impact on the development of the science of ecology or its application.
Professor Memmott's research interests in ecology include pollination ecology, invasion ecology, agro-ecology, biological control, urban ecology and restoration ecology. She works as both a pure and an applied ecologist and is particularly interested in working at the interface between the two disciplines.
