The project was commissioned by WWF to help prioritise funds and activities for improving mangrove management and restoration globally.

This project aims to develop a novel framework that uses big data from satellites to assess the impacts of droughts and water extraction on groundwater resources in Australia, currently poorly understood and difficult to monitor. This project expects to generate new insights into the mechanisms driving changes in groundwater availability… Read More

As efforts to restore coastal habitats accelerate, it is critical that investments are targeted to most effectively mitigate and reverse habitat loss and its impacts on biodiversity. One likely but largely overlooked impediment to effective restoration of habitat-forming organisms is failing to explicitly consider non-habitat-forming animals in restoration planning, implementation,… Read More

This project was part of a CSIRO project aimed to investigate how the contaminants (including microplastics) in biosolid behave when treated with soldier flies . The aim of microplastic testing was to determine the fate of plastic in the larvae process. As plastic can be ingested by larvae this project… Read More

“This project aimed to 1) establish a baseline for the quantity, size, and identity of microplastics in recycled organics outputs derived from feedstocks containing FO, GO, and FOGO. 2) Assess risk of microplastics found in recycled organics derived from feedstocks containing FO, GO and FOGO against human health, ecological health,… Read More

The overall aim of the activities, “What’s on My Plate for Morning Tea,” “Reptile awareness Program”, “Healthy Lunch Box Week,” “Bucket Filling,” “8 Ways of Aboriginal Knowing,” and “Celebrating Cultural Days in Kindergarten,” was to introduce kindergarten children to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by nurturing five essential attributes/characters… Read More

The short course aimed to contribute to improved nutrition indicators and food security policy in Sri Lanka and opened the door to further collaboration and capacity development between Sri Lankan practitioners and their Australian counterparts. This short course provided a point of reference in considering the future of health and… Read More

Climate Ready Australia 2030 (CRA2030) brings together partners from across society to drive climate action in Australia. We have assembled a growing alliance of peak bodies that we work with to identify common priorities for their sectors and members. These priorities have underpinned the development of a robust… Read More

My project aims to build national scale monitoring programs of the wildlife we love (African lions, elephants, leopards etc.). These monitoring programs give us an idea of the pulse of these populations and how they respond to conservation action. A key way to achieve resilient conservation monitoring at scale is… Read More
