Georgia Watson

I studied a Bachelor of Science (Biology, Hons I) at the University of Wollongong, supervised by Professor Kris French and Doctor Luke Collins. My honours research investigated how timber harvest and frequent prescribed burning altered the ingrowth, growth and mortality of a eucalypt forest in South East Australia, over two decades.
I spent two years a research officer in the Global Challenges Program at UOW, within the challenge of 'Sustaining Coastal and Marine Zones', supporting interdisciplinary research teams across a broad spectrum of topics. I have been a research assistant in the School of Earth, Atmospheric and Life Sciences, with projects focusing on invasive flora biology, monitoring and data deficient flora ecology.

I am currently a research officer within the ARC SRI Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future, with a focus on terrestrial biodiversity and moss monitoring. This research has taken me to Casey Station, East Antarctica, in February 2022.
