Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.


I am an academic in the School of Agriculture, Food and Wine at the University of Adelaide. I teach courses in soil and water science and management, which I am passionate about. My teaching activity and research group is located at the Waite Campus in Adelaide, a beautiful, stimulating and highly collaborative environment with several co-located research organisations.

To date I have published over 120 peer reviewed papers in leading scientific journals which have received >5400 citations, my h-index is 38. My outputs also include several book chapters, technical reports and guidebooks for soil and water management.

I am an Editor for the Environment, Development and Sustainability journal, Associate Editor for the European Journal of Soil Science, Director of the Acid Sulfate Soils Centre, and from 2018-2020 was President of Soil Science Australia.

Research Group

The overarching aim of the biogeochemistry research group I lead is to understand and help solve complex environmental and agricultural issues across multi-disciplinary boundaries (e.g. soil, water, plants). Research carried out by my group has increased understanding of processes affecting the generation and fate of chemical species and contaminants (e.g. acidity, metals, nutrients), and how to manage systems to prevent undesirable impacts. The group’s research is conducted and linked at various scales; from molecular-level studies in the laboratory, to field-scale experiments, and national-global scale assessments.

Our group has strong collaborations with government agencies and industry. We have a proven and extensive track record in delivering expert advice and research outputs to assist them to manage their most complex environmental issues. Importantly these projects also provide students the opportunity to research and solve "real world" issues while gaining valuable contacts and skills to enhance their future employment prospects. 

The talented group of individuals in my current research group include:

Dr Emily Leyden - postdoctoral fellow

Dr Brett Thomas - senior research fellow

Dr Joe Marks - postdoctoral fellow

Dr Erinne Stirling - senior laboratory technician

Will Tucker - research fellow

Dr Henry Luutu - postdoctoral fellow

Jess Spencer - senior administrative officer

Ana Paula de Brito - PhD student

Stephen Lang - PhD student

Birhanu Ayanssa - PhD student

Rui Yan - PhD student

Lucy Porter - Regional Soil Coordinator for SA

Julie Tan and Meng Wang (co-supervisor - Monash University)

Current research areas

  • Geochemistry and management of acidic agricultural soils, acid sulfate soils, and peat soils
  • Impacts and mitigation of drought and climate change on water and soils
  • Development of innovative soil amendments to mitigate constraints to agricultural production
  • Water quality and sediment-water interactions in the River Murray, Lower Lakes and Coorong and Piccaninnie and Ewens Ponds
  • Development of novel methods and instrumentation (e.g. in the last 5 years our group has developed new methods for detecting lime movement in soil, use of sulfur isotope ratios to detect sea level rise effects, spectrophotometric pH in soil, incubation test to determine gypsum rates, and a new filter-press method for infrared measurement in wet soils)
  • Assessing the impacts of trees on soil properties and functions in arid cropping systems
  • Blue carbon dynamics and restoration of coastal and inland floodplains, wetlands and peatlands

Harmful Algal Bloom Dashboard

In response to the devastating current (2025) Harmful Algal Bloom in South Australia I constructed an interactive dashboard to better track and understand the bloom. This free, open-access tool provides easy-to-use visualisations of SA government algal bloom data, hopefully helping communities, researchers, and decision-makers stay informed.

Access the dashboard here: https://sa-algal-bloom.streamlit.app/

Opportunities to work with us

I would be delighted to consider working with and mentoring you as a postgraduate student; however, please note that due to the limited number of students I can effectively supervise, I have to be highly selective about the students I take on. 

Funded research consulting requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. We have a very capable research team and collaborator network that is experienced in delivering on both smaller-scale assessments to multi-million-dollar research programs.

Any employment opportunities will be advertised via the University of Adelaide job vacancies page.
