RESEARCH INTERESTS

Prof Gerry Quinn is Chair in Marine Biology and has extensive research
experience in coastal marine ecology, freshwater ecosystems and the effects of
flow change on rivers and wetlands. He has co-authored two books on
experimental design and data analysis and monitoring human impacts in aquatic
environments. Current research is on the effects of humans on the condition of
estuaries and developing models for linking coastal environments to nearby
land and catchment processes. He is currently the Head of Warrnambool Campus.
