Modelling, Evidence & Policy - Staff List

I am a senior lecturer and professor of practice in SNES.  I am also a Director of the Centre for Wildlife Management

http://www.ncl.ac.uk/wildlifemanagement/research/

My research is focussed on the drivers and consequences of large-scale ecological change, and the conflicts that arise from these processes. My research interests invasive non-native species and wildlife disease with a particular focus on birds and mammals. I work at the interface of ecology, modelling and policy, 

My publication profile is available at

My teaching is focussed on the MSc in Wildlife Management
