Associate Professor Vincent Pettigrove is the Principal Ecologist for Melbourne Water. He conducts, supervises and publishes research to understand the effects of pollution on aquatic ecosystems. He has published and presented papers in a broad range of areas, including: the effects of polluted sediments on indigenous macroinvertebrates, the effects of exotic fish on urban aquatic ecosystems, the development of bioindicators for urban water bodies, the ecology of platypus and is developing new methods to monitor the quality of runoff in stormwater drains. The outcomes of research are then fed into Melbourne Water activities to ensure that the most important threats to aquatic ecosystems are identified and the most appropriate actions to manage these threats are taken. He has been a specialist lecturer in environmental management since 1992.
