Biography
Dr Grant Palmer is an ecologist focused on wildlife and landscapes. Grant's research interests include the distribution patterns of wildlife among landscapes, the processes that influence these, including fire and land uses, and the approaches and solutions to address wildlife conservation.
Grant collaborates with industry partners to improve knowledge and to develop management actions to address issues in species conservation, habitat suitability and landscape dynamics.
