Dr Edward Morgan is currently acting-Director and Research Fellow at the Policy Innovation Hub, Griffith University. He is researching policy, planning and governance for climate action, climate justice and sustainability.He also has a significant engagement role within the Policy Innovation Hub, developing training to for researchers on how to have policy impact, acting as a broker between government and researchers to improve policy impact across the University and supporting a range of Policy Innovation Hub projects.He has previously been involved in a transdisciplinary participatory action research project to develop and implementing landscape planning and governance for forest protection, to support sustainable community development and climate change mitigation and adaptation in case studies in the Amazon, Melanesia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This work included working with community, government and NGOs, through workshops, surveys and interviews, to develop community-scale landscape plans to help empower communities to both protect their forest and harness the benefits of ecosystem services of the forest.Previous work for the CRC for Water Sensitive Cities explored how research can support the integration of land use planning and water resource management. He also investigating community knowledge and preferences for water sensitive urban design (WSUD) and green infrastructure, to support Brisbane City Council's stormwater asset management.His PhD research investigated the interface between science and policy and how to turn knowledge and research into policy and community action. The project drew insights into the science-policy interface and the use of knowledge and co-learning in sustainability, environmental governance and natural resource management.

Dr Edward Morgan is a Research Fellow at the Cities Research Institute, Griffith University working with the Griffith Climate Change Response Program (GCCRP).He is currently researching and implementing trans-disciplinary and participatory landscape scale planning and governance of natural resources, in particular around primary forest conservation and water resources.His research involves1. Developing community-led landscape planning and governance in developing countries to support climate change adaptation and mitigation, sustainable development and forest conservation.2. Identifying science-based planning and governance opportunities for ecosystem-based adaptation through green infrastructure at a regional scale;3. Developing socio-ecological assessments for water sensitive urban design features.4. Investigating the role of science in policy, planning and environmental governanceHe is interested in taking an interdisciplinary approach to issues of sustainability, natural resource management and environmental governance, and the role of knowledge can play in confronting environmental challenges, with a focus on water and climate change.His PhD investigated the use of science in water management, policy and planning in the Southeast Queensland region. The project drew insights into the science–policy interface and the use of knowledge and co-learning in sustainability, environmental governance and natural resource management.

Conducting landscape planning and governance participatory action research supporting community-based forest management as a response to climate change and sustainable development.
