Teaching interests
I teach within the Sustainability and Urban Planning program in the School of Global, Urban and Social Studies. I’m also the Program manager for two degrees: The Bachelor of Environment and Society and the Bachelor of Environmental Science/Bachelor of Environment and Society double degree.
Within those degrees I’m currently lecturing Environmental Processes and Change (a first year subject) and Environmental Management and Assessment (a third year subject).

Research interests
My research interests are in interdisciplinary problems in conservation science. Most of my previous research has focused on developing quantitative and qualitative approaches for understanding the impacts of environmental policies and programs on biodiversity values in the landscape. As part of this I has undertaken extensive research on biodiversity offsetting, impact evaluation for conservation, conservation planning, spatial prioritization and private land conservation.
Other areas of interest and expertise are: Conservation planning and spatial prioritisation; Dealing with uncertainties in conservation planning data; Setting priorities for conservation investment using ecological and economic theory; Ecological populating modelling Risk and decision-making for conservation; Conservation on private land and market based instruments for conservation; Impact evaluation of conservation actions; Spatial modelling.
