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.
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 organic matter), 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.
I have published over 120 peer reviewed papers in leading scientific journals which have received >4400 citations, my h-index is 35.
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.
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
- 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, sulfur isotope ratios, spectrophotometric pH in soil, gypsum rates, and a new filter-press method for infrared measurement in wet soils)
- Understanding and managing nutrient dynamics in natural and constructed wetlands
- Assessing the impacts of trees on soil in arid cropping systems
- Blue carbon dynamics and restoration of coastal and inland floodplains, wetlands and peatlands
Recent media & communications

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.
