Biography

Janet Anstee is the Deputy Director of the AquaWatch Mission and is also the First Nations Engagement lead for AquaWatch.

Janet specialises in applying validated bio-optical models to advance water quality discrimination and enhance understanding of aquatic habitats.

Janet is a passionate citizen scientist and leads the CSIRO Eye on Water – Australia project which brings together her earth observation skills and interest in aquatic systems with citizen science. Janet has demonstrated experience in engaging with Indigenous communities through the Eye on Water project.

She is actively involved in determining the technological requirements for hyperspectral imaging in the CSIRO AquaWatch Australia Mission (water quality) and a collaborative project with the University of Queensland and the SmartSat CRC (coral reefs and seagrass). She has helped develop and apply innovative and complex remote sensing methodologies for monitoring coastal habitats and inland water quality using hyperspectral and multispectral sensors. This work involves atmospheric radiative transfer and semi-analytical inversion models and is underpinned by substantial scientific, technical and logistical expertise in aquatic remote sensing calibration and validation.
