Dr Elizabeth Znidersic is an early career, post-doctoral researcher with ILWS. Her major research interests include survey methodologies and the application of technological tools to monitor individual species and ecosystems, wetland species and their management and island biodiversity and species reintroductions/translocations. Her research has been conducted in the USA and Australia with ongoing collaborations with US Government agencies. Liz has worked extensively in Tasmania with the Parks and Wildlife Service, non-government environmental agencies and various nature based tourism operations. Most of her research is applied ecology and cross-discipline ecology and computer science in the area of acoustic monitoring and camera trapping. The results are aimed at improving our understanding and management of natural systems and specific species and integrating technological approaches. She is currently working on the “Eavesdropping on wetland birds” project. Liz has also been a sessional lecturer with the School of Environmental Sciences at CSU.
