Estuary Health, anthropogenic impacts on marine and estuarine environments

Professor Emma Johnston is Pro Vice-Chancellor (Reserach) at the University of New South Wales and head of the Applied Marine and Estuarine Ecology Lab (AMEE). Her group investigates the ecology of human impacts in marine systems. She combines the diverse disciplines of ecology, microbiology and ecotoxicology in an exciting research program that expands our fundamental understanding and provides recommendations for management. Her research is conducted in such diverse field environments as Antarctica, the Great Barrier Reef and temperate Australian estuaries. Professor Johnston’s work has met the highest standards of international research, as evidenced by more than 90 peer-reviewed publications. She is a television presenter for BBC/Foxtel and Vice President of Science and Technology Australia. Professor Johnston contributes expert opinion to state, federal & international government agencies and consults with industry through the development and implementation of environmental monitoring programs. She leads a large and friendly research group that includes postdocs, research assistants and students at all levels (PhD, Masters, Honours and undergraduates). They approach their research from both an ecological and ecotoxicological perspective using field experimentation wherever possible.
