Dr. Isabelle Wolf is a Research and Analysis Officer at the Office of Environment and Heritage, Australia. Isabelle is responsible for all aspects of park visitor research and monitoring, including visitor experience development and management. She is leading numerous GIS-related visitor monitoring projects and New South Wales state-wide visitor research. In this role she capitalises on her expertise in both the social and ecological sciences. As an ecologist her speciality is the interface between people and their environment with recent work on animal behaviour and flora and fauna communities in fragmented and disturbed habitats. Isabelle has completed a PhD at the University of New South Wales and published in both social and environmental science journals.
