Program Coordinator for the Environmental Management and Environmental Studies programs
Greg Walkerden is the Program Coordinator for the Environmental Management and Environmental Studies programs in the Graduate School of the Environment (GSE). He joined the GSE after 17 years working professionally in environmental management, in both government and consulting roles. His work has won a number of awards, including awards for catchment management, stormwater management and capacity building. His research is focused on 'how to …?' questions - on what works in practice. As a result his work is transdisciplinary: bounded by what needs to be explored to find approaches that work, rather than by the limits of disciplinary questions.
