Biography

Matthew Brookhouse is a Senior Lecturer in the Fenner School of Environment and Society at the Australian National University, where he has been teaching since 2018. His academic focus includes postdoctoral projects on forest structural complexity, landscape planning, and dendrochronological reconstruction of river flow in Victoria. He actively researches the responsiveness of commercial forest species to carbon dioxide levels, with significant efforts directed toward understanding the impacts of wood-borer induced dieback in snow-gum woodlands of the Australian Alps. In the classroom, Matthew teaches first-year research methods, helping students connect theoretical inferential statistics with practical applications, and later-year students in modeling field botany. His ongoing research interests encompass genotype-by-carbon dioxide interactions in eucalypt species and related dendrochronological and silvicultural studies.
