Biography
I recently commenced in a new role in the Department - as a Scholarly Teaching Fellow. In this role, most of my efforts are directed towards implementing and improving Learning and Teaching within the Department.
Research Interest
I am a geomorphologist, with a strong interest in the application of research to environmental management. I spent 5 years working in the NSW Government in river extension, water policy and planning, plus another 5 years working for the CSIRO Land and Water – both provided extensive insights into the on-going problems and challenges faced by land managers with respect to environmental management. My research is multi-disciplinary and broadly focused on catchment-scale hydrogeomorphic processes. I recently started exploring the use of remote sensing and GIS as tools for improving monitoring and evaluation of environmental management programs.
