Research/innovation interests: In a communication context (I am a science communicator for CRC CARE): contaminated site assessment, management and remediation/clean-up. Also agricultural research, esp. in developing countries.

People/organisations to meet with: Communication professionals (or anybody interested in communication practice) from environmental consultancies, contaminated site owners (e.g. mining/resources companies; industrial chemical producers; local/state/federal government), public & private research organisations.

The above may like to meet with me to swap ideas about how to best communicate science/commercialisation/innovation to a range of target audiences.

Your interests

Research/innovation interests: contaminated site assessment, management and remediation/clean-up (this encompasses national policies and guidelines, measurement and analysis, risk assessment, and clean-up technologies); mine site rehabilitation.

People/organisations to meet with: Environmental consulting professionals/companies; senior state & federal government officials (esp. from departments of environment, innovation, industry and defence); contaminated site owners (e.g. mining/resources companies; industrial chemical producers; property developers; local/state/federal government).

The above may like to meet with me because CRC CARE is a national leader in developing approaches and technologies for cost-effectively managing and remediating contaminated sites. Government officials may also be interested in our policy research, which has influenced national guidelines on the assessment and management of contaminated sites.
