Professor Robert Wasson
Professor Robert Wasson represents Charles Darwin University. He is a geomorphologist who specialises in desert environments, their origins and reconstructing how they looked in the past. He has also studied the storage and movement of sediments and nutrients in river catchments.
Robert’s work presents environmental history alongside catchment processes to help natural resource managers understand how landscapes have reached their current states.
After a career in CSIRO, Robert was the Director of the Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies at the Australian National University and is now Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) at Charles Darwin University.
“Without strong research-based evidence, management of Darwin Harbour and its catchment is likely to meet the same sorry state as other estuaries in Australia.”
