Christine Groom

Dr. Christine Groom serves as an Adjunct Research Fellow at The University of Western Australia's School of Biological Sciences. Her research focuses on endangered avian species and threatened ecological communities in Western Australia, particularly Carnaby's cockatoos and Banksia woodlands.

Her research expertise spans

• Wild bird conservation in urbanized landscapes
• Spatial ecology of mobile endangered species
• Rehabilitation and reintroduction protocols for threatened birds
• Coastal ecosystem management

Recent work demonstrates innovative integration of satellite telemetry with DNA metabarcoding for ecological monitoring.

Publication trends reveal consistent focus on Australian endemic species conservation, with significant contributions to understanding Banksia woodland ecosystems and Carnaby's cockatoo ecology. Her 2021 review established critical research priorities for threatened Banksia communities.

Professional engagement includes public outreach such as the 2019 Australian Heritage Festival presentation on black-cockatoos and Banksias, covered by multiple news outlets and social media platforms.

Research advising includes doctoral supervision evident from thesis contributions, while datasets like the Dryad repository on cockatoo spatial ecology demonstrate commitment to open science. Her work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals for ecosystem conservation.
