My Expertise
I have expertise and experience in Australian wetlands and waterbirds including the management of water and environmental flows. I am the project leader for the Feather Map of Australia citizen science project. I also have experience in elemental and stable isotope analysis of biological samples to address ecological challenges including waterbird tracking, diet analysis, and the illegal wildlife trade.
