Prof Jenny Davis is a freshwater ecologist with the Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods at Charles Darwin University. Jenny has worked on global wetland issues including hydrological change, habitat loss and pollution. Her current research seeks to understand the processes supporting the persistence of aquatic biota and refugia.

Water is the basis of all life on Earth, but groundwater (the water stored beneath the Earth’s surface) is often ‘out of sight and out of mind’, despite its importance to life in northern Australia. Groundwater supports freshwater habitats and biodiversity, provides drinking water for towns and remote communities, is essential for agriculture and mining, and plays an important role in culture and connection to Country for First Nations peoples.

In the seminar ‘The critical role of groundwater for wetlands in a warming world’, Jenny will describe the multiple research approaches needed to understand and manage this critical resource in a warming world facing increasing water scarcity.
