Lecturer in Biological and Human Sciences, Director of Studies in Human Sciences
Clive Hambler teaches ecology and conservation to Human Scientists, Biologists and environmental MSc students. He is author of the textbook Conservation (Cambridge University Press, 2004), which is used by students at a range of levels from schools to MScs and also by researchers and practitioners. Clive researches a wide variety of environmental management problems and a wide range of types of organism - from giant tortoises, turtles and flightless birds in Seychelles to spiders in British fields and woodlands. His ecological work includes: studies of succession, islands, fragments and habitat edges; restoration ecology (including invasive species and rewilding); the impacts of invasive species; the mechanism of Gaia (planetary stability due to life); the impacts on wildlife of various energy sources including biomass; "sustainability"; and methods to measure extinction rates and to reduce them.

Lecturer in Modern Languages
He organizes the German language and literature teaching for a combined cohort from Hertford and St Peter's College, and teaches large parts of the German course himself. The language teaching is shared with the College Lektorin, a German native speaker. On the literature side, he teaches the plays and narrative texts in the first-year course, and literature from the 18th to the 20th century in Final Honours, including authors such as Goethe, Schiller, Kleist, Thomas Mann and Kafka. One special feature of German at Hertford is the traditional reading party in the Easter vacation, when he takes his final-year students to Germany for a week of study, sightseeing and theatre-going.
