Project summary
Program:
PhD
Location:
St Lucia, Brisbane
Research area:
Agricultural, veterinary and food sciences, Environmental sciences
The project builds on existing work conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency, Victoria, integrating hydrological measurements, contaminant concentrations, microbial profiles, and land use data. It will identify contaminants of concern and assess their toxicity and ecological risks by linking observed concentrations with ecotoxicological thresholds for relevant species. The key research questions of the project include:
What are the ecological risk profiles for key flora & fauna species in flood-affected nonurban landscapes?
How can land use, hydrological data, & contaminant profiles be used to understand and predict ecological risks during flood events in nonurban landscapes?
How do flood-driven microbial dynamics inform environmental risk assessments for antimicrobial resistance (AMR)?
