Dr Frederik Saltre

I joined Flinders University in the College of Science and Engineering in July 2017 as Research Fellow in Palaeo-ecological Modelling for the ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage. I am the Coordinator of the Global Ecology Laboratory (with Professor Corey Bradshaw) and a member of the Weisbecker Lab (with Associate Professor Vera Weisbecker).

From 2013 to 2017, I was an ARC Research Associate at the University of Adelaide. Previously, I held a joint one year appointment with the Centre for Bio-Archaeology and Ecology and the School of Advanced Studies (EPHE) as Lecturer at Montpellier (France), and was a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Oregon State University (USA).

I am an Ecologist specialised in Global Change Ecology and Biogeography. My research focuses on how environmental and biological drivers shape the spatio-temporal responses of terrestrial and marine species (vertebrate and vegetation) to past, present and future climate changes. My most important contributions have been in applied ecology, biodiversity and conservation, theoretical ecology, extinction dynamics, human demography, species responses to climate change and applying ecological theory, modelling and spatial statistics approaches to predict ecosuystem changes.
