Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD (as Co-Supervisor) - email supervisor to discuss availability.

I am the Immediate Past President of Earth Observation Australia, Australian Co-Chair of the Coordinating Board of the Asia Oceania Group on Earth Observation (AOGEO), Chair of the CSIRO NovaSAR-1 Steering Committee and a member of the TERN Scientific Advisory Committee.

I have been Emerita Professor since retiring from the University of Adelaide in 2021. I was Head of the School of Biological Sciences from 2017 - 2019, having previously served as Associate Head (Research Education) in the School of Biological Sciences (2015-16), Coordinator of the Sciences Faculty ERA submission (2012 and 2015), Associate Dean (Research) and Associate Dean (Future Students) in the Faculty of Sciences from 2010-15 and earlier Head of the Soil and Land Systems Discipline (2003-06). I was leader of the SA Node of AusCover, the remote sensing data facility within NCRIS TERN (Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network, 2011-2018).

I have an extensive background in remote sensing, vegetation ecology, and environmental science and management, with many years of experience in teaching, postgraduate supervision and research at the University of Adelaide, Roseworthy Agricultural College, and the South Australian College of Advanced Education.

I was a member of the ARC College of Experts (2016-18) and of the New Zealand Royal Society Centres of Research Excellence Expert Selection Panel Member (2020). In addition I was a Sessional Commissioner in the SA Environment, Resources and Development Court (2001-20), and have served on numerous government advisory bodies including the SA National Parks and Wildlife Council, Wilderness Advisory Committee and the Development Policy Advisory Committee.

My research is in Earth observation: using remote sensing (from satellites, aircraft, lab & field instruments, and now drones) to document, analyse and monitor landscape composition and variation in space and time.

Contexts for this work are Australian arid and semi-arid environments, native vegetation, wetlands and agriculture.

I specialize in

hyperspectral sensing for discriminating and mapping vegetation, soil and water properties, and
assessing environmental condition and monitoring of environmental change with multi-temporal imagery.

I collaborate with government agencies, ecologists and environmental managers to develop new remote sensing approaches and tools for environmental assessments. This involves developing remote sensing proxies and indicators for biophysical phenomena to provide

new insights into environmental function via
objective, repeated, spatially comprehensive, cost effective approaches.

I teach and coordinate courses in remote sensing and environmental mapping and monitoring.

Earth Observation III interprets image-based information gathered by sensors on space, airborne and ground-based platforms. The course introduces the principles and application of remote sensing to a range of disciplines - environment, geoscience, engineering and agriculture. Practicals give 'hands-on' experience with image analysis software, including processing and interpretation for projects. The course is offered at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

Spatial Information and Land Evaluation introduces theory, history and current methods of spatial information generation, presentation and analysis including map reading and interpretation, GIS, GPS, surveying, remote sensing and image interpretation. It gives an overview of major Australian and South Australian mapping programs and spatial information in government agencies.

This level 2 course provides a foundation for level 3 study in Earth Observation and Geographic Information Systems.

I have supervised over 19 Honours students, 10 of whom have received First Class Honours. Opportunities for future Honours research projects are available here.
