Personal profile

Biography

Greg Skrzypek has broad experience in stable isotope ecology and hydrochemistry. He has published many papers on applications of stable isotope techniques in ecological, hydrochemical, and paleoclimate studies. He uses stable H, C, N, O, S, and Sr isotopes to trace trophic positions, nutrient and water fluxes in natural environments, and the dispersal of pollution in environments impacted by mining and agriculture. He contributed to establishing several hydrochemical baselines for the Pilbara major iron ore mining region.

Greg held a prestigious Australian Research Council Future Fellowship at UWA (2012-2015) and Foundation for Polish Science Scholarship at UWr (1999-2000). Greg spent two years developing stable isotope techniques at The University of Texas. Currently, he serves as the deputy director of the West Australian Biogeochemistry Centre at UWA (wabc.uwa.edu.au). Greg has been a chief investigator on a number of research projects in Europe and Australia and an expert representing Australia to the International Atomic Energy Agency of the United Nations.
