I am an environmental scientist with expertise in hydrology, groundwater tracing, aquatic biogeochemistry, greenhouse gas emissions, and soil science. I obtained my PhD in 2017 from Southern Cross University (SCU) which laid the groundwork for understanding the role of aquatic fluxes in agricultural carbon budgets (Webb et al. 2018, Agric. For. Meteorol.). I have held casual teaching positions at Charles Sturt University (CSU) and gained five years of postdoctoral experience at the University of Regina and Deakin University. I have a passion for environmental science, especially regarding freshwater aquatic ecosystems and GHG emissions. My field research has predominantly been within agricultural landscapes involving crops (sugarcane, cotton, rice) and water (farm dams, ditches, irrigation), and involves an understanding of how human-designed systems alter “natural” flows/processes in the environment. Prior to starting my position at UniSQ in 2024, I was a Research Fellow at Deakin's Centre for Regional and Rural Futures where I conducted applied research on soil, water, and emissions in irrigated agriculture, including the carbon footprint of the irrigation network.
