Gary Brierley is a river scientist who specialises in the use of science in management applications (especially river rehabilitation and conservation). There has been extensive uptake of a research tool that he co-developed (the River Styles framework (www.riverstyles.com). Professor Brierley research extends across both scientific and management fields. His primary interest presently lies in the development and application of coherent scientific guidance with which to promote an era of river repair in a manner that respects the inherent diversity and variability of river systems. Key themes for Professor Brierley's research output include: sedimentology, human impacts on river systems, sediment budgets, river management, environmental governance and education. His research has been published in various outlets, including several books, over 70 internationally refereed journal articles, over 20 refereed conference proceedings, over 20 sections in books, various review articles/comments, and over 55 commissioned and/or consultancy reports.

Teaching

Postgraduate courses

Professor Brierley teaches a specialist river geomorphology course and co-ordinates the postgraduate Research Methods/Design course. He also runs specialist research project courses in Physical Geography and Environmental Science, and teaches various lectures on transdisciplinary approaches to environmental science.

On several occasions He has linked professional short courses taught for industry personnel to postgraduate courses taught for university students.

Undergraduate

Professor Brierley teaches courses across the spectrum of physical geography and environmental science, from 100-300 level. He incorporates rivers field trips into all of these courses. He also presents modules in courses on ecological restoration, environmental management and water resources management.

External courses and teaching achievements

Professor Brierely has taught the River Styles Short course to industry personnel on more than 10 occasions. A short course on assessment of geomorphic condition, that builds on this course, has been run once.

He has taught an introductory river geomorphology short course to government personnel in Tasmania and Queensland (5 courses in total)

He has also taught short courses on Geomorphology and River Management at the University of Malaysia, China University of Geosciences Beijing and Qinghai University (China).

A teaching tool that Professor Brierley developed is an exemplar on the AUTC www base (see http://www.learningdesigns.uow.edu.au/guides/info/G1/more/ModeratorsGuide.html). This work was also published in the Australian Journal of Environmental Education.

Professor Brierley presented the Annual Lecture for the Journal of Geography in Higher Education (JGHE) at a conference in Borneo in 2007. This work was published in JGHE in 2009.
