Biography

Mr Micah Davies has conducted ecological research in Australia and overseas for 29 years and is an integral part of several landscape-scale experimental field projects in a range of environments. His work includes live-capture, radio- and satellite telemetry and observational studies of woodland birds, wetland birds, raptors, mammals and aquatic animals in many parts of Australia; measuring the response of ecological variables to the application of management actions (e.g. environmental watering, grazing exclusion); field measurements for biomass and carbon (FullCAM) assessments; floodplain vegetation and wildlife monitoring; water quality and algal bloom equipment installation and monitoring and large-scale literature reviews including extracting, interpreting, and collating data.
