Jennifer Silcock

Dr. Jennifer Silcock is a Research Fellow at the University of Queensland's School of the Environment, specializing in arid-zone ecology and conservation. Her work addresses threatened species management, ecological change detection, and conservation policy effectiveness.

Research combines historical ecology, field surveys, and spatial analysis to document species declines and habitat degradation in Australian rangelands. Key studies focus on bilby populations, sandstone springs ecosystems, and plant translocation outcomes.

Recent publications analyze extinction drivers in Australian flora, effectiveness of threatened species investments, and indigenous ecological knowledge applications. Contributes to national conservation assessments through the Threatened Species Recovery Hub.

Collaborates with land management agencies, indigenous ranger groups, and policy organizations to implement conservation strategies in arid regions.
