Biography
I am a quantitative ecologist with 25 years experience studying ecology, biodiversity and conservation in the tropics. My research has been conducted in locations including; Colombia, India, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, as well Australia. This has involved large collaborative projects funded through international organisations (i.e. Conservation International) and smaller, individual student-based studies.
My primary interest is understanding fundamental biological processes. As such, I am not restricted to individual “focal” taxa or ecosystems. My research interests include a range of taxonomic groups and spans from local-scale ecological processes to broad scale patterns in species distributions and diversity. Based on my breadth of experience, I currently lead a team of researchers from Industry, Government and University sectors developing a biodiversity monitoring program as part of the Australian National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) for deployment across Australian. I am also contributing to TERNs development of a standard set of environmental monitoring protocols for the Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment.
