Background

Dr Abby Cabrelli

My background is in ecology with a particular focus on understanding the consequences of disturbance on species and ecosystems. Before joining the BTO Student Support team, I worked in the Department of Geosciences as part of a research team investigating the responses of tropical savannas to fire, and for my PhD, I investigated the impacts of climate change on Australia’s reptiles.
