Biography

Dr Bruce Taylor is a human geographer who studies how environmental policies are developed and implemented, and how multi-stakeholder dynamics and deliberation influence policy and program outcomes. Bruce has worked for regional natural resource management bodies and in strategic policy in state government. He joined CSIRO in Brisbane in 2003.

During his time with CSIRO he has led research on partnerships for implementing devolved approaches to regional natural resource management in Australia; the delivery of programs to encourage adoption of sustainable farming practices to reduce diffuse water quality impacts on the Great Barrier Reef; understanding community perceptions of benefits from environmental watering in the Murray Darling Basin; and, the governance of urban and coastal adaptation to climate change. He co-leads the Stakeholder and Traditional Owner Engagement sub-program of the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program investigating social and cultural acceptability of novel reef interventions.

Bruce is CSIRO's Coordinator for Great Barrier Reef research supporting improved collaboration within CSIRO across its diverse scientific capability, and, between CSIRO and our impact partners in government, reef managers, research and development, industry and investors.
