Dr Camille Mellin
Biography
Dr Camille Mellin joined SARDI in 2024 to provide data modelling expertise for stock assessment and harvest strategy evaluation for major South Australian fishery species. She has expertise in quantitative ecology, statistical and population dynamics modelling, with experience from academic, corporate and government roles.
Camille’s research blends theoretical and empirical models at organizational levels ranging from individual organisms to ecosystems, using a wide range of quantitative tools from process-based demographic models to hierarchical models of social-ecological systems. She has developed methods for incorporating climate forecasts to derive future projections of ecological communities and geospatial analysis to inform and map global biodiversity patterns, and how they will be impacted by accelerated rates of climate change.
