Crossman
Associate Professor
University of Adelaide
Working at the nexus of land and water systems, my primary research is the modelling and valuation of ecosystem services, the integrated modelling and assessment of socio-ecological systems, and the impact of land use and climate change on natural capital. Through the application of these research areas and the leadership of others I also carry out large multi-disciplinary research projects on the socio-ecological-economic impacts of land and water management decisions. I have recently led a number of projects that estimate the economic and biophysical impacts of policy investments in water and land management, including projects investigating: i) the benefits of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan in south east Australia; ii) the socio-economic impacts of irrigation development in northern Queensland, Australia; iii) the value of ecosystem services in eastern Africa, and; iv) the social-economic impacts of drought in Australia. I have published 60 papers in high-impact international refereed journals and given over 40 papers at international conferences. I am Associate Editor for the International Journal of Biodiversity Science, Ecosystem Services and Management, and on the Editorial Board of Environments and Subject Editor for OneEcosystem. I am Treasurer of the Ecosystem Services Partnership and co-lead the Mapping Ecosystem Services Working Group. I am a member of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Future Earth Global Land Project, and have a number of other high level international roles (IPBES, UNCCD, European Union) where I contribute expertise on modelling and valuing ecological-economic systems.
