Research Interests
My research interests are natural resource assessment and modelling, focussing on using models to inform the management of land and water resources. I have considerable experience in the design and development of models and Decision Support Systems (DSS) within a participatory environment and have worked extensively and collaboratively with Commonwealth, State/Territory and local government agencies in Australia and also with researchers and consultants working across a range of disciplines (including ecologists, hydrologists, and social scientists).
