Teaching Strengths
Dr Georgia Csortan
Lecturer
School of Physics, Chemistry and Earth Sciences
College of Science
Georgia is an environmental scientist with a background in sustainable environments, urban agriculture and citizen science. Her research focus includes working on ways to increase the productivity, resource efficiency and financial savings of urban food gardens, to better contribute to urban sustainability.
She has been at the University of South Australia since 2009 and thoroughly enjoys teaching, presenting, wrangling online learning into submission, and seeing students develop into engaged environmental scientists and confident communicators.
Georgia is also passionate about science communication – for science to be meaningful, relevant and useful it needs to be effectively communicated (and hopefully - look good at the same time!). To this end, she writes a blog “All kinds of understanding: Successful science communication” covering ideas, tips, tricks and different communication perspectives.
Urban agriculture / urban food production. The importance of measuring the inputs and outputs of urban food gardens as they currently exist, as a way to increase current knowledge and understanding and inturn better support the development of potential improvements to urban food production in the future.
