Biography

Dr Eric Nordberg is a wildlife ecologist and leader of the Reptile Ecology and Environmental Disturbance (REED) lab, interested in the impacts of environmental disturbance and land-use change on wildlife communities.

Research in his lab focuses on the response of wildlife populations, particularly reptiles, to natural and human-mediated disturbances, and investigates the impacts of landscape change on community ecology, species interactions, and natural history.

Eric studies a range of topics, from spatial ecology of timber rattlesnakes in the USA, to impacts of feral pigs on turtles in Cape York, to identifying win-win strategies between industry (e.g., cattle grazing) and wildlife conservation.

Eric serves as the ERS Course Coordinator for BSc Honours, as the head of the Renewable Energy Hub at UNE, as the staff representative for the UNE Zoology Society, and as the wildlife representative for the UNE Animal Ethics Working group.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
