Investigating the changing fire regimes in the Great Sandy Region of south east Queensland, Dr Philip Stewart’s PhD investigated the past, present and future challenges in the area. Philip investigated the linkages between fire regimes and how they impact the environment, vegetation and population dynamics, including changes in temperature and precipitation regimes, both spatially and temporally. His research offers a variety of regime management controls that can be implemented in the future.
Philip now works at the University of Queensland coordinating the undergraduate and postgraduate course in fire ecology and management. He is
also the Principal Ecologist and Director of the consultancy firm, Biodiversity Conservation.
Philip's thesis is available here.
