Biography
Dr Rebecca Bartley is a Research Scientist with CSIRO Land and Water.
Dr Rebecca Bartley has experience in the fields of fluvial geomorphology and catchment hydrology. Her primary research interest has been the development of field experiments and monitoring projects that underpin and support large scale catchment models that are used to predict sediment and nutrient loads in Australia’s coastal catchments. Her work has included long term measurement based research in grazing, sugar cane and rainforest catchments in North Queensland. She has also worked on stream and catchment management projects in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, and on and land suitability assessments in north west Queensland.
Research topics of special interest have included:
(1) using sediment nuclides, dating, monitoring and modelling to improve our understanding of sediment sources and catchment scale sediment budgets
(2) review and synthesis of catchment scale water quality data for use in water quality models
(3) linking land management change to water quality improvements at multiple scales
(4) investigating the physical processes involved in the disturbance and recovery of landscapes and how this translates from catchments to the marine system
