Personal profile
Research interests
Dr Cameron Baker is a postdoctoral research fellow at Charles Darwin University. His research focuses on understanding how the external environment (both physical and social) influences the spatial ecology and movements of species, along with how novel applications of spatial ecology techniques can provide insights into a species’ ecology and behaviour. To do this, he takes an integrative approach, combining analyses and techniques from multiple disciplines to leverage unique insights into the ecology of his study species.
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
