Research Interests

Her broad research interests focus thematically on water resources management in times of change. This has involved using non-market methods to monetarily value urban green space, instream flows and ecosystem services in water scarce environments, market-based instruments design as part of basin scale water resources management reform and restoration, as well as, using social science methods to better understand local and community values to incorporate in water planning frameworks. Her current Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship research is applied, interdisciplinary and has elements of co-production.
