Biography

I am Programme Leader for Freshwater Species Ecology and Management and am based in NIWA's Hamilton office. My main areas of expertise are the ecology of native fish, fish passage, ecohydraulics, flow-biota interactions and environmental flows. I am particularly interested in the interplay between freshwater biodiversity and human uses of river environments including flow regime change, habitat modification and the impacts of instream infrastructure.
