	Biography

Participatory decision support system development, Bayesian Belief Network Models, Adaptive Management

Since completing a PhD at UQ in 1998 I have worked for the Queensland Department of Natural Resources, the University of Melbourne and the Victorian Department of Natural Resources and Environment, developing decision support tools for natural resource management in collaboration with Catchment Management Groups and Authorities. My current area of research is in the participatory development of decision support tools with Regional NRM Bodies and land managers using Bayesian Belief Network Models. This is being conducted through the CRC for Tropical Savannas Management.
