Baden Myers is a Research Fellow in the UniSA STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) academic unit at the University of South Australia (UniSA). Baden graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Environmental) in 2005. Following a move to South Australia in 2006, he completed his PhD in 2010 based on a study of the physical, chemical and biological processes affecting stormwater quality in permeable pavement structures. His research interests include stormwater harvesting, urban drainage, forest hydrology and water sensitive urban design. His current key project is investigating the management of water and environmental assets in plantation forests. Baden also works with the Australian Flow Management Group, a NATA accredited laboratory at UnISA which provides research and testing services for the performance of water related products including water meters, stormwater treatment systems and hydraulic structures.

Baden's research focuses on forest hydrology, urban drainage, water sensitive urban design (WSUD) inclusing runoff quantity, peak flows and quality, and water resource management.
