Jackie’s background is as an Aquatic Ecotoxicologist with over 17 years’ experience in this field. With research interests focused around marine and freshwater ecotoxicology, particularly on understanding how human-induced stressors affect flora and fauna in aquatic environments Jackie is managing the AQUEST program assessing the benefits of SFM to the Campaspe River. The co-authors Vincent, Claudette and Warish provide the scientific backgrounds across freshwater ecology, toxicology and chemistry required to undertake this multidisciplinary program.
