Philip Wallis

Monash University

Dr Philip Wallis is a Research Fellow with the Systemic Governance Research Program in the Monash Sustainability Institute at Monash University. His current research focuses on the governance of social-ecological systems, particularly in the areas of water resources, Australia's Murray-Darling Basin, climate change adaptation, catchment management and water sensitive cities. This research is mainly transdisciplinary in nature, drawing on social, political and technical inquiry into complex situations. His previous PhD research was in green chemistry, looking at the role of modified clay minerals as catalysts for organic synthesis and as models of soil carbon sequestration. He is a 2010 Fellow of the Peter Cullen Trust.
