My work at UWA over the past 20 years has followed a central aim of “Improving aquatic ecosystem protection through improved prediction”. This focus sits at the interface of environmental management, hydroinformatics, environmental modelling and system dynamics, and seeks to develop the next-generation of aquatic ecosystem modelling software and know how to allow those charged with decision-making the evidence-base needed to protect orrestore ecosystem function.

Here I led the Aquatic Ecodynamics research group at UWA in the School of Agriculture and Environment. Our research combined process studies of hydrology/hydrodynamics, microbial trophic interactions and biogeochemistry with state-of –the-art modelling approaches. In this effort we employ the use of advanced sensor technology in conjunction with environmental models to develop ‘real-time environmental observatories’ to gain new insights into water quality and system feedbacks and their… Show more Here I led the Aquatic Ecodynamics research group at UWA in the School of Agriculture and Environment.
