Where the work happens

The environments I work in

Tim has worked in a very broad range of habitat types. With an academic background in vegetation science, specialising in forest ecosystems, Tim's professional experience now includes wetland ecosystems (freshwater and estuarine), intertidal zones including mangroves, seagrass, and coral reef flats, and freshwater aquatic ecology (rivers, streams, fish). This breadth of knowledge assists greatly in understanding the impacts of large scale infrastructure projects, that typically interact with a wide range of habitats and species.
