Dr Iain Gordon

I hold honorary appointments with several universities in Australia and New Zealand, including at Lincoln University. My research focusses on evidence-based solutions for the use of land for agriculture whilst maintaining natural resources and ecosystems. I have worked across a broad range of areas including pest management in the Wet Tropics, biodiversity conservation and livestock management in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America, Europe and Australia and land and catchment management to protect the Great Barrier Reef. I have published over 350 book chapters and papers in international peer reviewed journals and 11 books. I am currently Chair of the Gladstone Healthy Harbour Partnership, the Threatened Species Scientific Committee, the Southern Gulf NRM and the TNQ Drought Hub Steering Committee. I have a passion and commitment for sustainable regional development and harnessing the tropics’ enormous potential through education and research.
