Rate My Professor Paul Frazier

Frazier's research specializations encompass channel and floodplain geomorphology, environmental flows, flow-ecology interactions, and remote sensing applications for monitoring river and wetland inundation. Key publications include 'The effect of altered flow regime on the frequency and duration of floodplain inundation' (River Research and Applications, 2005, with K. Page); 'Comparative assessment of the measures of thematic similarity in Landsat TM images and their relationship to climatic gradients' (Remote Sensing of Environment, 2007, with C. Liu and L. Kumar, cited over 600 times); and 'A reach-scale remote sensing technique to relate wetland inundation to Phragmites australis abundance' (River Research and Applications, 2009). Additional works cover remote sensing for mine subsidence effects, factors related to gully erosion in woody encroachment, and a two-step up-scaling method for mapping runoff and erosion.

Frazier has made substantial contributions to environmental management in the Murray-Darling Basin as project director or co-director for Long Term Intervention Monitoring (LTIM) programs, including those in the Gwydir and Warrego-Darling Rivers selected areas, assessing ecological responses to environmental watering under the Murray-Darling Basin Plan. He serves as a handling editor for Marine and Freshwater Research and has presented at events such as the 2023 River Reflections Conference.
