Key projects include: - Starvation Creek Weir Desilting - geomorphic assessment of drawdown desilting for a small diversion weir.- Goulburn River Long Term Intervention Monitoring (LTIM) - Sediment and seed deposition study and hydraulic habitat model development.- South Creek Case Study - Development of the Urban Streamflow Impact Assessment (USIA) methodology for targeted protection of creeks from stormwater in the South Creek Catchment.

Research Project: “Geomorphic opportunities and constraints to urban stream functional restoration”Flow regime disturbance has long been recognised as a key driver of physical and ecological degradation of streams downstream of urban development. Morphologic change in waterways, however, is also driven by changes in the sediment regime, particularly the bedload (coarse-grained) sediment regime. However, the extent of this disturbance and its relative contribution to urban stream degradation is unknown. Sediment regime disturbance may be an ongoing constraint to urban stream protection or restoration, even if the natural hydrologic regime can be preserved or restored. This project investigates changes in bedload supply and transport in streams across a gradient of urbanisation, the subsequent impacts on geomorphological change and habitat degradation, and the constraints they place on protection, recovery and restoration of urban streams.
