Research Fellow, Conservation Science, Deakin University

Dr Carla Archibald is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Integrative Ecology at Deakin University. Carla has technical expertise in GIS, spatial analysis and modelling, with an interest in private land conservation, environmental policy, climate change adaptation, food systems and sustainability. Her past post-doctoral research project was at The University of Queensland which aimed to guide private land conservation investments to maximise koala conservation across New South Wales under the uncertainties of climate change. Carla has a Bachelor of Applied Science with Honour I in ecology and a PhD in conservation science and policy from the University of Queensland.
