Profile Summary

I am an Environmental Scientist and own Environmental Science Solutions, a small environmental consulting business. I completed my PhD in environmental chemistry at Macquarie University in 2017. I am interested in applying geochemistry techniques which enable an understanding of human health exposures in contaminated sites. I have worked on a number of large scale investigations ranging from drinking water contamination to environmental forensics. I am currently working with a range of councils, governments and industry clients on a diverse range of projects across Australia. I have a range or skills in a range of areas including vegetation management, ecology and biology. My primary interests include water quality, in-situ and non-destructive analysis and emerging contaminants. I am an accredited provider of portable XRF radiation safety training across Australia. I was previously the Chair of the Geological Society of Australia (NSW). Follow my STEM outreach Instagram: @enviro.science.solutions Twitter: @DocPJHarvey
