She’s a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Environmental Sciences and a member of the Centre for Smart Green Cities. Katie is also a researcher at the Sydney Institute of Marine Sciences, where she is Deputy Director of the Sydney Harbour Research Program. Her primary focus of research is on human impacts in the marine environment. This super interesting chat was on the edge of Sydney Harbour, but goes deep under water and into the sediment - talking about stormwater pollution, 'legacy' pollution and dead zones.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Links:</p><ul><li>Katie Dafforn -&nbsp;<a href=\"https://katherinedafforn.com/\" target=\"_blank\">https://katherinedafforn.com/</a></li><li>Department of Environmental Sciences -&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.mq.edu.au/about/about-the-university/faculties-and-departments/faculty-of-science-and-engineering/departments-and-centres/department-of-environmental-sciences\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.mq.edu.au/about/about-the-university/faculties-and-departments/faculty-of-science-and-engineering/departments-and-centres/department-of-environmental-sciences</a></li><li>Centre for Smart Green Cities -&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.mq.edu.au/research/research-centres-groups-and-facilities/secure-planet/centres/centre-for-green-cities\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.mq.edu.au/research/research-centres-groups-and-facilities/secure-planet/centres/centre-for-green-cities</a></li><li>Sydney Institute of Marine Science -&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.sims.org.au/\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.sims.org.au/</a></li><li>Sydney Harbour Research Program -&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.sims.org.au/page/97/sydney-harbour-research-program\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.sims.org.au/page/97/sydney-harbour-research-program</a></li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For further information about Ocean Protect, check us out at&nbsp;<a href=\"http://www.oceanprotect.com.au/\" target=\"_blank\">www.oceanprotect.com.au</a></p>","author_name":"Ocean Protect"}
