Biography

Sharyn Hickey is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Western Australia in the School of Agriculture and Environment. Her research interests lie at the intersection of geographical elements and environmental systems, particularly how spatial-temporal models can be used to examine drivers of environmental change. She has focused on coastal and marine changes in habitat and utilizes Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing data extensively in her work. Recent research projects have involved assessing remote sensing technologies for monitoring changes in marine habitats such as mangroves, seagrass, and coral reefs, with a strong emphasis on developing innovative GIS methods for marine environmental monitoring and blue carbon assessment. Hickey is also involved in population health research and coordinates multiple units, including ENVT 4408 on Programming GIS and ENVT 3306 on Marine Coastal Management.
