Biography
Dr Suzanne Prober is a Senior Principal Research Scientist with CSIRO Environment in Canberra, Australia. Her research is centred on managing and restoring the natural diversity, ecosystem function, and resilience of vegetation communities, with a long-standing interest in balancing production, cultural and economic values with nature conservation, particularly in temperate eucalypt woodlands.
Core research areas include management of fire, exotic invasions, and soil ecological processes in interaction with land use, and helping Aboriginal people document their ecological knowledge and aspirations to help them re-engage in natural resource management. Facilitating adaptation of nature conservation to climate change, underpinned by principles reflecting the values of nature to people, is an increasingly pressing focus.
Suzanne’s research is conducted with a wide range of collaborators using field ecological survey and experimentation, workshops, opinion surveys, soil and plant genomic analysis, and modelling tools. She leads the Great Western Woodlands Supersite, a long-term ecological research site of the Terrestrial Ecosystems Research Network (TERN).
