I'm a Senior Lecturer in freshwater and marine ecology at the School of Life Sciences, University of Technology Sydney, Australia. My work specialises in revealing how humans are impacting ecosystems and what we can do to restore them.
Check out the work by my colleague Prof Shauna Murray on the ongoing algal blooms and ecological crisis in South Australia
New research awaiting peer review has provided a few revelations about the make-up of South Australia's algal bloom, with a new predominant species — Karenia cristata — identified by scientists. Here's what we know so far.
What is the new species detected in SA's algal bloom?

Had the pleasure to contribute to a new paper just published, led by Jo Bennett (CSU), on using environmental water to maintain wetland refugia and increase ecosystem resilience to severe drought www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Conservation planning for environmental water to climate refugia in the manageable Murray–Darling Basin
One mechanism for improving the resilience of freshwater systems affected by climate change is to use environmental water to support refugial habitats…
