Management and Environmental Science at the Australian National University. She
conducted her postdoctoral work in complex systems science at CSIRO
and has worked on a diverse set of projects ranging from a local scale
(e.g. analysis of stormwater harvesting in Canberra) to a national scale (e.g.
what builds social-ecological resilience in Australia?). Currently she is part
of an interdisciplinary team using integrated modelling approaches to
understand impacts of and responses to global change. Nicky is also
