Independent Collaborator
and Partner
When undertaking complex-systems research, I invest in and enjoy collaborative synergies with others – be it researchers, students or organisations.
I believe interactions between different disciplines, coupled with an adaptive learning model, is necessary to build and strengthen conceptual understanding, scientific knowledge, practical solutions and science-management partnerships.
I have prior experience putting together authorship teams, which has resulted in the development of many published works over the years.

Floodplains are a significant feature of Australian riverine landscape that contain important natural and agricultural ecosystems. Our floodplain research attempts to unpack the interactions between these contrasting ecosystems.
Current Research Projects
Get involved in research projects spanning various topics, from the resilience of river networks, unpacking disturbances affecting global river systems to understanding flood plain responses to multiple drivers.
Research Opportunities
I welcome inquiries across a range of research opportunities – including postdoctoral, postgraduate, undergraduate, technician, volunteering and internship opportunities.
Advisory
I have previously worked with the Australian Policy Makers, NGOs, Landcare Groups and various Management Agencies, and am available to provide support in a consulting and advisory role.
The Barwon Darling River Australia. The majority of Australian rivers flow through dry landscapes and as a result, they, commonly, do not confirm to text book models of river structures and functioning. We have been exploring ecosystem processes of dryland rivers for over 20 years.
