Professor Creer is a global leader in using high-throughput sequencing to assess biodiversity across the tree of life throughout diverse biomes. He has advanced knowledge of the spatio-temporal dynamics of environmental DNA, derived from the biodiversity of marine, estuarine, freshwater, terrestrial and airborne environments, with additional insights derived from pollinators and trophic interactions. He aims to understand emergent properties related to environmental and human health.
