Teaching Responsibilities
My teaching largely reflects my research interests. At 2nd year level I teach into KGA204 Earth, Climate and Life and KGA213 Natural Environment Field Techniques. In 3rd year I teach KGA332 Fauna Conservation Management, and teach into the KGA516 Ecosystem Conservation unit within the postgraduate program. I supervise a number of Honours, Masters and PhD students who share my research interests. As well as locally, some students have had the opportunity to undertake fieldwork in Papua New Guinea, Thailand and India.
