Personal profile
Biography
My research focuses on understanding the success of invasive plants, plant and vegetation responses to climate change, plant conservation and adaptation under climate change, and urban greenspace. I am the Director of the Smart Green Ciries Research Centre and lead the Which Plant Where project in collaboration with Hort Innovation, as well as various urban greening research projects in collaboration with Sydney Water and Botanic Gardens of Sydney. In addition I am Trustee of the Royal Botanic Gardens & Domain Trust, and member of the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Advisory Panel.
