Professor Nigel Watson

Professor of Geography and Environmental Management

Research Overview

My research and teaching interests are in the area of natural resources governance and management, particularly water resources and the development of integrated approaches for catchments and entire river basin systems. Focusing on institutional arrangements, my goal is to advance theoretical understanding and practical application of multi-party collaboration as a basis for policy making and implementation. I am committed to making a positive difference, and work closely with policy makers and multi-party catchment groups.
