A/Prof of Marine Conservation Science & Director of the Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science (CBCS), The University of Queensland
I am an Associate Professor in the School of the Environment, and the Director of the Center for Biodiversity and Conservation Science at the University of Queensland. My research focuses on how migratory species use and connect the ocean, how we can use spatial management measures to help conserve them, and how we need to work together on regional and global scales to manage them. I have worked with seven UN Conventions and organisations to try to provide the information and tools necessary to support a healthy ocean.
My research focuses on applying ecological and biogeographical theory to develop applied solutions to natural resource management and conservation problems in the ocean across a range of scales. I am particularly interested in developing and disseminating actionable information to inform conservation planning in areas beyond national jurisdiction and improving environmental governance of that “other” half of our planet.
