Dr Ryan Tangney

Research Fellow

Body

I completed my PhD at Curtin university in 2019, which focused on seed survival and recruitment in fire prone ecosystems. I work closely with conservation agencies to ensure my research is applicable and practical.

My research interests are

Disturbance ecology, including weed invasion and fire - and the combined effect of fire and weed invasion.
Seed and plant trait interactions
Fire ecology and the effects of changes to fire regime
Soil dynamics during fire and the utilization of new technology to increase our ability to capture variability within fires.
