Details of specialism
I specialise in researching, and advising on, the marine environmental impacts of deploying and decommissioning offshore oil and gas infrastructure.
Within the broad topic area my particular focuses currently include:
- understanding the interactions between commercial fisheries and the oil and gas industry
- benthic impacts of oil and gas extraction
- artificial reef ecology
Main policy links
- advice on decommissioning plans for offshore oil and gas operations
- advice on Environmental Statements, Directions, Oil and gas permits, CCUS applications
External committees and responsibilities
- chair of MASTS Oil and Gas Environmental Research Forum
- member of the Society for Underwater Decommissioning and wreck removal subcommittee
- member of Independent Scientific Advisory Board for the Australian National Decommissioning Research Initiative
