He is best known for his work on distance sampling, a widely-used technique for estimating the size of animal populations. He has also made significant contributions in the following areas: bootstrap resampling methods; modelling the dynamics of wild animal populations and measuring biodiversity. BiographyBuckland was born in Dorset, England, the youngest of three children. His father was a smallholder, farming first pigs and then poultry, and part-time lorry driver. After secondary education at Foster’s School, Sherborne, he studied mathematics at the University of Southampton, graduating with first-class honours in 1976. He followed this with an MSc in Statistics at the University of Edinburgh, graduating with distinction in 1977, then a PhD from the University of Aberdeen in 1983. He was made a Chartered Statistician by the Royal Statistical Society (RSS) in 1993. He had a keen interest in natural history from a young age, and now has a strong interest in wildlife photography. He became “Photographer in Residence” at Tentsmuir National Nature Reserve[1] in 2018. CareerBuckland was Lecturer in Statistics at the University of Aberdeen from 1977 until 1985, following which he worked for the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission, based at Scripps Institution of Oceanography) in San Diego California, for two years, estimating trends in dolphin abundance in the eastern tropical Pacific, to assess the impacts of tuna fisheries on dolphin stocks. He returned to Scotland at the start of 1988, to work for the Scottish Agricultural Statistics Service (now Biomathematics and Statistics Scotland [2]), based at the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute (now the James Hutton Institute. He then went to the University of St Andrews to take up the Chair in Statistics in 1993. At St Andrews, he established the Centre for Research into Ecological and Environmental Modelling [3] (CREEM) in 1999, and secured funding to create a tailor-made facility in the St Andrews Observatory, where CREEM has been based since 2002. He was Director of CREEM from 1999 to 2004, and again from 2009 to 2014. With Byron Morgan at the University of Kent and Steve Brooks, then at University of Cambridge, he co-founded the National Centre for Statistical Ecology [4][5] (NCSE) in 2005, and has been Director or Co-Director since then. NCSE was funded through two large research grants, one awarded in 2005, and the second in 2010. He was also instrumental in establishing the biennial International Statistical Ecology Conferences, with both the first conference (in 2008) and the sixth conference (in 2018)[6] hosted by St Andrews. Buckland has published around 190 refereed papers in more than 80 different journals, spanning statistics, mathematics, ecology, conservation, wildlife management, experimental and theoretical biology, fisheries, environmental science, botany, zoology, geography, geology, epidemiology, agroforestry, remote sensing and analytical chemistry. He is one of the key developers of distance sampling methods, and is first author on four books on the subject. Buckland was editor of the Journal of Agricultural, Biological and Environmental Statistics [7] 2016-2018. AwardsBuckland was elected a Fellow of the International Statistical Institute in 1995 and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2007[8]. He was a Leverhulme Trust Research Fellow in 2005-06. He was a Member of Council of RSS during 2005-09. In 2019, he was awarded the Royal Statistical Society’s Guy Medal in Gold[9][10], the 38th recipient since its inception in 1892.
