Iain Gordon
Iain, who holds both British and Australian nationality, returned to Scotland to take up the post after eight years working with CSIRO - the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation - in Canberra. CSIRO is the national government body for scientific research in Australia.
Professor Gordon is native to Aberdeenshire and graduated with a zoology honours degree from the University of Aberdeen. He was awarded his PhD by the University of Cambridge.
He worked at the Macaulay Land Use Research Institute in Aberdeen, leading the Ecology Group, before moving to Australia in 2003.
Main areas of scientific expertise:
- The foraging behaviour of ruminant herbivores as it affects animal performance and vegetation dynamics.
- The use of domestic herbivores as tools for grazing management within areas of nature conservation interest.
- The management of wildlife to meet the objectives of rural development and environmental restoration.
- The role of parasites in modifying the foraging behaviour of ungulates.
- Re-introduction of rare ungulates into the wild.
- The effect of dietary specialisation on life history and social organization in ungulates.
- Human community involvement in wildlife management.
