I am currently doing my Masters, working on log term population trends in mosquito communities along the Murray River in South Australia. I have conducted vector monitoring and contributed to various research projects over the years. I set up the Mozzie Monitors - Australia project as an extension of the Mozzie Monitors citizen science project . To help with common Mozzie ID have a look at my reference guide
"An abridged guide to mosquitoes of medical importance in South Australia"
Mozzie Monitors - Australia
The ongoing garden project of my Adelaide house Stephen's yard this is a part of the Australia backyard project The Pelzer project named after August William Pelzer one of Australia’s leading landscape gardeners under whose supervision the work of laying out Adelaide’s many gardens.

Prior to working in this space, I spent some time in Indonesia in Pearl aquaculture.
Most recently I have worked with several others to create the Great Southern Bioblitz (GSB), held for the first time 25-28 September 2020. This event hopes to encourage participation in citizen science throughout the Southern hemisphere via this platform while increasing knowledge of biodiversity.
