Research interests
Mariana Campbell is originally from Brazil, where she completed a Bachelor of Science, followed by a Research Masters. She was awarded an Australian International Research Post-graduate Scholarship (IPRS) in 2009 to undertake a Ph.D. at The University of Queensland, studying the Ecology and Conservation of the Mary River turtle (Elusor macrurus). She currently works at Charles Darwin University as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow, managing the research associated with two Commonwealth Funded Grants. In this role she engages in laboratory and field work around animal movement, but also manages the administration of the MLE-Lab.
Mariana has worked in animal research and teaching in five different Universities throughout her career, and has over 15 years of experience in animal husbandry. Most of this experience is with reptiles and fish, but she has also worked with amphibians, mammals, and birds. Mariana's primary interest is in the use of animal movement data combined with other ecological and behavioural variables to aid conservation and management.
