Occupation(s)Botanist, ecologist

She received her Bachelor of Science in Agriculture (Honors) from the University of Sydney in 1985[3] and a PhD in Vegetation Ecology from the Australian National University in 1990.[4]

She is a principal research scientist with CSIRO Land and Water in Perth, Western Australia.[5] Understanding, controlling and restoring the natural diversity, ecosystem function and resilience of plant groups are Prober's main research interests. She focuses on temperate eucalypt woodlands and remnant vegetation in versatile landscapes. Prober currently leads the Great Western Ecosystems Research Network, and is Facility Director of TERN (Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network) OzFlux. OzFlux is responsible for maintaining datastreams that measure the exchange of energy, carbon and water between the atmosphere and important Australian ecosystems.[5]

The standard author abbreviation Prober is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.[6]
