Senior Water Quality Scientist

Ed is an environmental scientist with 15 years of experience across both the public and private sectors. His work has included installing and operating remote monitoring networks, investigating urban contaminant generation, transport and fate, compliance assessment, and project management.
Ed has a strong interest in how we shape our urban and rural land uses around physical, social and cultural infrastructure, and brings a water-lens perspective to all the work he does.
Ed is currently part-time at Morphum while he completes his PhD at the University of Auckland, where he is researching the role of low-cost, open-source Internet of Things sensors in creating dense spatial monitoring networks. Utilising such sensors can help schools, iwi and community groups to generate environmental data, in turn helping validate and enhance institutional models and our understanding of freshwater systems in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Outside of work and uni, Ed enjoys hiking, running and is building an off-grid container house and pottery studio in rural Auckland.
