Synopsis of my professional career
My work on river science and management started during my undergraduate studies at Durham University, UK. I completed my Honours thesis on semi-arid erosional systems in the Middle East. My MSc and PhD were undertaken on various aspects of fluvial geomorphology and sedimentology in a fjord environment north of Vancouver, Canada. My PhD developed an approach to river characterisation that has been extensively applied in subsequent work (including co-development of the River Styles framework with Kirstie Fryirs). My career has included appointments at the Australian National University, Macquarie University and the University of Auckland. My recent research has focussed on the use of river science to guide management practices in areas such as ecosystem management, river conservation/rehabilitation and integrated catchment management. Since 2007 I have worked on the application of river science and management in the Sanjiangyuan region, western ... MORE
