About

Imogen commenced her PhD at the Fenner School of Environment and Society in August, 2024. She has previously completed a Bachelor of Civil Engineering (Honours Class I)/Bachelor of Arts from the University of Sydney, and a Masters in Earth Science (Hydrology/Hydrogeology) from Uppsala University. Her Masters research involved systems modelling to understand responses in water demand to changing water availability. She presented this work at The 2nd International Sociohydrology Conference in Tokyo in July 2025.

In her PhD, Imogen continues to be interested in understanding how people respond to and create change in human-water systems. Her PhD project is on unravelling and modelling the social and hydrological drivers of water scarcity risk in the Murray-Darling Basin, and how this may evolve under climate change.
