Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography

- EV3404: Field Studies in Tropical Geography
- GE3407: Fire Science and Management for Northern Australia
Research Interests
Broad research interests are in palaeoecology of arid zones and
of wet and dry tropics, palaeoclimatology, micrometeorology and
the ecology of dry rainforests, in particular the history and development
of the Australian vegetation at time scales relevant to the development
of arid climates and the arrival and impacts of people. Current
projects include pollen analysis to investigate the timing of aridification
and the nature of environmental responses, dendrochronological and
dendroclimatological potential of Araucaria to derive a terrestrial
record of climate change, vine thicket ecology, comparative water
use strategies of savanna and deciduous vine thicket species.
