Kaitlyn O'Mara
Research Fellow, Australian Rivers Institute, Griffith University
Kaitlyn is an aquatic ecologist that uses tracers to study food webs and movement of fish and other aquatic organisms, working across a range of environments including estuaries, rivers and wetlands. Kaitlyn's research explores many aspects of fish nutrition, identifying food sources and environments that are important for fish to acquire the nutrients they need to grow and reproduce. Her research uses a whole-ecosystem approach, starting from nutrients, trace elements and other substances in the environment, through the food web to fish and other consumers. The outcomes of her work increase understanding of how aquatic organisms are influenced by their environment and how they will respond to change, such as new water resource developments, contamination from expanding human populations, and increased extreme events such as floods that may result from climate change. This new knowledge informs conservation and environmental management practices.

Kangacepe Zulu
I am a PhD student at the University of Bolton, undertaking a doctoral degree by research. I am analyzing state and non-state actors' approaches to climate change interventions in Zambia. Basically trying to investigate the stakeholder-coordination nexus and bring out valuable lessons for public policy, in general, and Africa's sustainability in view of climate change, specifically.
My current field of work revolves around development planning and public policy. But I have an interest in other topical issues such as politics (and the science behind it) and media.
I am also a Theologian in the making. Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary, USA, was gracious enough to offer me a distance learning opportunity; so I am slowly chasing after an MA in Systematic Theology.
I hope I haven't forgotten to also mention that I am a trained computer programmer... I am supposed to get machines to do stuff for us. But haven't done much programming in recent years!
