Associate Professor Kirstie Fryirs of the Department of Environmental Sciences recently received the 2015 Gordon Warwick Medal at the British Society for Geomorphology (in Southampton). The Medal is awareded for international excellence and impact in geomorphological research by someone within 15 years of graduating with their doctorate. She delivered an address on approaches to analysis of river sensitivity and its use in river management practice.
Kirstie is a fluvial geomorphologist who has worked extensively on post-European settlement river change, approaches to analysis of river forms, processes, condition and recovery potential, and unerstanding catchment-scale sediment fluxes. She is the co-developer of the River Styles® framework that is embedded in NSW river monitoring policy and practice, and in the European Water Framework Directive. She works closely with, and trains, river managers on best river management practice.
