Biography
My professional focus is aquatic ecology with an emphasis on the restoration of freshwaters. I have been working for over 20 years in the field and have over 35 publications in international journals. My research fields of interest include: urban stream ecology, environmental flow science, arid riverine ecology, freshwater fish biology, and biodiversity and ecosystem function. Much of my research is directed towards scientific solutions to meet management need.
