Project Description

Using examples from the restoration of Cumberland Plain Woodland Dr Gordon will discuss the uncertainties involved in restoration, and what this could mean in terms of offsetting, multipliers, and the scale required to produce resilient offsetting outcomes. Ascelin’s current research focuses on developing predictive modelling approaches to assess the impacts of different types of conservation policies such as biodiversity offsetting and incentives for conservation on private land. He also works on the application of conservation planning and spatial prioritisation in complex environments that incorporate uncertainty and has an interest in impact evaluation.
