Rate My Professor Avril Horne

Horne's research centers on environmental water outcomes, climate change adaptation for freshwater ecosystems, optimization of environmental flows, stress testing of water allocations in large river basins, and participatory stakeholder engagement for better monitoring and management. She is a DECRA Fellow funded by the Australian Research Council (DE180100550). Her scholarly contributions include highly cited works such as 'The Brisbane Declaration and Global Action Agenda on Environmental Flows' (Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018), 'Prepare River Ecosystems for an Uncertain Future' (Nature, 2019), 'Water for the Environment: From Policy and Science to Implementation and Management' (Academic Press, 2017), 'Modeling Flow-Ecology Responses in the Anthropocene: Challenges for Sustainable Riverine Management' (BioScience, 2019), 'Optimization Tools for Environmental Water Decisions: A Review of Strengths, Weaknesses, and Opportunities to Improve Adoption' (Environmental Modelling & Software, 2016), and 'High Flow Management as Climate Change Adaptation for Freshwater Ecosystems in Regulated Rivers' (2024). Horne contributes to key projects including vulnerabilities for environmental water outcomes in changing climates, preserving rivers through environmental water use, and developing people-centric climate tools for the Murray-Darling Basin. She teaches courses such as Introduction to Sustainable Water Management (ENEN30002).
