    Dr Ian Bell

    Qld. Dept. Environment and Heritage Protection

    Threatened Species Unit

     

    Dr Ian Bell is a Research Scientist with Queensland’s Department of Environment and Heritage Protection’s Threatened Species Unit.

     

    Having been involved with marine reptile research since 1995, Ian's current research covers multiple turtle conservation projects determining marine turtle life history parameters, population structure and distribution around the world including Queensland, Papua New guinea and Bahrain.  

     

    Over the last several years he has become more involved in working with Indigenous communities to understand trends and threats to local sea turtle populations. His research interests include marine vertebrate ecology and behaviour, population dynamics and genetics, biogeography, threatened species biology and conservation and field biology.
