Chad Jarolimek is Technical Services Manager at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia. His background is in environmental analytical chemistry with a strong focus on the ultratrace analysis of inorganic contaminants in environmental matrices. |
Josh King is a Research Scientist at CSIRO Environment, Lucas Heights, Australia. He has expertise in development and application of analytical methods for challenging environmental matrices. His research interests have focussed on the transport and fate of inorganic contaminants in environmental systems. |
Dr Simon Apte is a Senior Principal Research Scientist at CSIRO Environment, Lucas Heights, Australia. His team specialises in the ultratrace analysis of trace elements in aquatic systems including the low level determination of mercury speciation in waters, sediments and biota. One of his main research activities is assessing the impacts on mining on aquatic systems particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. |
Jane Hall is a PhD student in the Southern Ocean Persistent Organic Pollutants Program based within the Environmental Futures Research Institute at Griffith University, Australia. She is also a wildlife health specialist at the Australian Registry of Wildlife Health at the Taronga Conservation Society Australia. In 2016, she was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to investigate ways to improve Australia's capacity to manage wildlife disease incidents. Her research interests span both terrestrial and aquatic species under the One Health paradigm, and current studies are focused on the health of Australian fur seal species, specifically Arctocephalus forsteri. |
Dr Anil Gautam holds a PhD in Chemistry from Macquarie University in Sydney. He has been working in NSW public service sectors for more than 12 years providing scientific advice to NSW government agencies to help them address chemical pollution issues. His area of expertise includes measuring and monitoring chemicals in the environment, analytical chemistry including laboratory management systems, providing scientific advice regarding chemical pollution incident and environmental data management and visualisation. |
Dr Megan Louise Gillmore is a senior scientist in the Environmental Forensics team at the New South Wales (NSW) Department of Planning and Environment. Megan has a PhD in ecotoxicology and her research has primarily focussed on developing tools for assessing the impact of sediment-bound contaminants on the biological health of aquatic ecosystems. In her current role Megan plays a vital role responding to pollution incidents such as chemical spills and wildlife deaths by providing scientific evidence and technical expertise for the protection of the NSW community and environment. |
Christopher Doyle is an ecotoxicologist with the New South Wales (NSW) Department of Planning and Environment where he leads a team of specialist scientists in providing pollution monitoring and impact assessment services to environmental regulators and incident management teams. Christopher has more than 20 years of experience in assessing the presence of chemical pollutants in the environment and has a particular research interest in the accumulation and effects of contaminants in marine wildlife. |
