About
As a research scientist I aim to develop and implement ecological frameworks and information systems to improve natural resource decision making. Much of my work involves assisting decision makers to consider adopting evidence-based approaches using spatial and temporal environmental data. To achieve this I have led many national ecological projects including biogeographical classification, vegetation extent type and condition, use and management.
I have been instrumental in developing decision support tools for national programs and initiatives. These tools have been proven useful for assessing vegetation-related ecosystem services.
