I have a diverse range of expertise including environmental hydrology, water resource management and stormwater research reflecting a career as both a researcher (now) and resource management practitioner (previously). I am currently leading research to develop a pilot planning tool to evaluate the effects of urban development on environmental, economic, social and cultural values of water bodies. I also lead studies investigating the sources, fate and treatment of contaminants in urban stormwater. These include: field-based source characterization studies; macro-scale predictive modeling studies to guide future urban development; and studies into the effectiveness of stormwater treatment measures. Previous experience gained at Auckland Regional Council included contributing to the development of statutory plans to guide water resource allocation and regulatory responsibilities such as the consenting of major public infrastructure works.
