Tom is a biodiversity conservation scientist specialising in spatial ecoinformatics for conservation policy and solutions. He holds a Bachelor of Biodiversity and Conservation (Macquarie University, 2014), a Master of Conservation Science (University of Queensland, 2018), and a PhD in Conservation Science (University of Queensland, 2025). His expertise span applied ecology and biogeography, impact mitigation and ecological compensation, the effectiveness and resourcing of protected and conserved areas, and spatial conservation planning. For his PhD, Tom examined the risks and opportunities posed by industrial mining to biodiversity and its conservation, at regional and global scales. He is currently working on global anthropogenic ecosystem mapping, spatial data standards for ecosystem-scale conservation, and the applications of ecosystem approaches to conservation policy and decision-making.
