Margaret E Andrew

Margaret E. Andrew is a Senior Lecturer at Murdoch University's School of Environmental & Conservation Sciences, affiliated with the College of Environmental and Life Sciences. She holds additional affiliations with the Centre for Terrestrial Ecosystem Science and Sustainability and the Harry Butler Institute. Her academic journey includes a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from Stanford University and a PhD in Ecology from the University of California, Davis.

Dr. Andrew's research focuses on spatial ecology, remote sensing, and conservation biology. Her work spans three core themes: time series remote sensing for environmental monitoring, species' spatial ecology and biogeographic patterns, and ecosystem services in urban and natural landscapes. She employs geospatial tools to address biodiversity conservation, climate change impacts, and land-use management challenges. Recent projects include identifying climate change refugia, assessing phenological mismatches in migratory birds, and modeling habitat dynamics for endangered species.

Her publications reflect interdisciplinary approaches, integrating remote sensing, GIS, and statistical analyses to address ecological questions. Key areas include forest structure monitoring, wildfire drivers in tropical regions, and invasive species management. While no formal awards are listed, her extensive peer-reviewed contributions highlight her scholarly impact.

Dr. Andrew’s teaching and research emphasize practical applications of spatial data in conservation and ecosystem management. She collaborates with institutions across Australia and internationally, contributing to ecological policy and applied conservation strategies.
