Sabbatical at University of Queensland


I am currently on sabbatical at the University of Queensland, where I'll be based until September 2012. I am based with Professor Hugh Possingham's Spatial Ecology Lab. This is a large, dynamic and inter-disciplinary group of researchers who are tackling big questions in ecology and conservation. There are many parallels with the objectives of our own Earth to Ocean Group at SFU, and I have met a lot of people interested in questions such as how to get the biggest bang for the buck when setting priorities for conservation of species and habitats.
