Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD (as Co-Supervisor) - email supervisor to discuss availability.
I'm an ecologist with research interests in spatial processes in populations, movement and migration, reintroduction biology, arid zone ecology, introduced predators and waterbirds. Currently, I provide design and technical support for the deployment of telemetry systems, both VHF and GPS, for monitoring the reintroduction of terrestrial vertebrates or studies in movement ecology. At the moment, this effort is directed to the Marna Banggara rewilding project on Yorke Peninsula. I am a member of the FAUNA Research Alliance. I continue to supervise doctoral students and publish research in my areas of interest.
