معرفی
Natalie Stoeckl is a Professor at James Cook University's College of Science and Engineering, Department of Environmental Science. With over 130 publications spanning two decades, she has established herself as a leading researcher in environmental economics and ecosystem services valuation, with particular expertise in Indigenous land and sea management across northern Australia.
Her research interests focus on environmental economics, ecosystem services valuation, Indigenous land and sea management, tourism economics, natural resource management, and climate change impacts. Stoeckl's work is characterized by interdisciplinary approaches that integrate economic, social, and ecological perspectives to address complex environmental management challenges.
Analysis of her recent publications shows a strong emphasis on Indigenous perspectives in environmental management, particularly examining how Indigenous land and sea management programs contribute to wellbeing and generate multiple co-benefits. She has pioneered methodologies for valuing cultural connections to land and has made significant contributions to understanding the socioeconomic dimensions of Great Barrier Reef management.
Her research has been instrumental in developing frameworks for integrated natural resource management that account for both market and non-market values, with applications across Australia's tropical regions and internationally in contexts such as coal mining impacts in China.
Professor Stoeckl has supervised numerous research students who have become established researchers in their own right, including Marina Farr, Michelle Esparon, Silva Larson, and Diane Jarvis. Her collaborative work extends across multiple institutions and involves partnerships with Indigenous communities, government agencies, and international researchers.
