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. This is the first part of a two-part episode, with part 2 released next week.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Links:</p><ul><li>Katie Dafforn -&nbsp;<a href=\"https://katherinedafforn.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" 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\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" 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\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" 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/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" 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\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" 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/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">www.oceanprotect.com.au</a></p>","author_name":"Ocean Protect"}
