Ascelin Gordon

Dr Ascelin Gordon is a Senior Lecturer in the Sustainability and Urban Planning program within the Centre for Urban Research.

My research interests are around interdisciplinary problems in conservation science. Most of my previous research has focused on developing quantitative and qualitative approaches for understanding the impacts of environmental policies and programs on biodiversity values in the landscape. As part of this I have undertaken extensive research on biodiversity offsetting, impact evaluation for conservation, conservation planning, spatial prioritization and private land conservation.
