Dr Hayley Craig

Biography

I am a plant and soil ecologist interested in the use of molecular tools to monitor environmental change. I have worked in a range of environments, including mangroves, forests and agricultural, and have experience developing commercial products for monitoring biodiversity using environmental DNA.
