Associate Professor Susan Fuller

I collaborate with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) to provide real world experience to undergraduate students in BVB311 Conservation Biology.  I am also engaged in biodiversity monitoring and ecoacoustics research at the AWC Bowra Wildlife Sanctuary. I am also collaborating with the Cotton Research Development Corporation on a research project to deliver new technologies to improve natural resources (biodiversity) on Australian cotton farms. This project funding will have important scientific benefit as well as societal outcomes as on-ground engagement with landholders will lead to improved biodiversity management in cotton dominated landscapes.
