Brief description
Dr Nicole HillI am a quantitative ecologist with 11 years’ experience in applied ecological research. Currently I am a postdoctoral researcher within the NERP Marine Biodiversity Hub where I form part of a team investigating the logistical and statistical challenges associated with developing a blueprint for the sustained monitoring of the Commonwealth's Marine Reserve Network.
I began working at the University of Tasmania in 2009 on NERP's predecessor, the CERF Marine Biodiversity Hub. My research there focused on using new survey tools and applying sophisticated statistical techniques to predict marine biodiversity for conservation management.
Previous to this, I completed my PhD at the University of New South Wales where I investigated the ecological impacts of metal-contaminated sediments on benthic communities, with a particular and applied focus on the effects of metal-contaminants in nearshore Antarctic ecosystems.
I have also worked on projects looking at the ecological implications of translocating sea urchins to improve fishery harvests, and examined the ecological, genetic and historical constraints on host-algal choices by marine herbivores.
Research and projects
I am a postdoctoral researcher within the NERP Marine Biodiversity Hub's Theme 1: National Monitoring Evaluation and Reporting. In this theme I form part of a team investigating the logistical and statistical challenges associated with developing a blueprint for the sustained monitoring of the Commonwealth's Marine Reserve Network.
My current research interests lie in three broad areas:
