Dr Erin Peterson

Erin Peterson is a Principle Research Fellow in the Queensland University of Technology Institute for Future Environments and the ARC Centre for Excellence in Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers (ACEMS), in Brisbane, Australia. Erin’s educational background and experience allow her to work at the interface of landscape ecology, geographic information science, and environmental statistics. Her research relates to broad-scale modelling; regional monitoring program design, assessment, and reporting; and the development of methods that better represent the spatial location, configuration, and connectivity of features in statistical models. Her transdisciplinary work has been published in top-tier journals, including the Journal of the American Statistical Association and Ecology Letters. She was also part of a multidisciplinary team awarded the 2016 US Forest Service Rise to the Future Award for the successful knowledge transfer of statistical methods that have become standard-practice for aquatic resource management. Erin is currently a Regional Representative of The International Environmetrics Society (TIES).
