Dr Alexander Herr

Senior Research Scientist

Alexander’s research focuses on sustainable Natural Resource Use and Management

Biography

Dr Alexander Herr integrates socio-economic and biophysical information to guide ecologically sustainable natural resource management (NRM). Alexander’s main work is currently focussed on applied Resilience research and the assessment of water resources for an emerging Australian hydrogen industry.

He has experience in carbon modelling, bioenergy, ecology/conservation and applied wildlife management in Australia and overseas and in applying livelihood and wellbeing approaches for sustainable natural resource use. The main focus of his research is the integration of biophysical and socio-economic information for use in natural resource assessment and management. He has been applying spatial and statistical modelling techniques in the environmental science arena for over 30 years.
