Dr David Paull
Honorary Senior Lecturer
MA Adel., PhD ÁñÁ«¹ÙÍø
Dr David Paull is a Senior Lecturer in Geography in the School of Physical, Environmental and Mathematical Sciences (PEMS). His research interests range from Biogeography, Wildlife Ecology and Geomorphology through to Remote Sensing and GIS.
Dr Paull has taught Conservation Biogeography, Geographic Information Analysis, Applications in GIS and RS, Global Environmental Change,ÌýGeographies of Contemporary Australia, Ecological Systems, Resource Management,ÌýIntroduction to Digital Image Processing, and Geography Honours. He currently teaches Geography 1A and Ecological Biogeography.
He is actively involved in research on threatened species with a particular focus on medium-sized ground-dwelling mammals.
