La Trobe A-W expert wins national awards
La Trobe University river health expert Dr Aleicia Holland has been nationally recognised for her exceptional research into freshwater ecosystems.
A senior lecturer at the University’s Albury-Wodonga Campus, Dr Holland recently received two prestigious awards: The Australian Freshwater Sciences Society’s Early Career Excellence Award and the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry’s Early Career Researcher Medal.
“Whether I’m working here on the Murray, or in Brazil in the Amazon Basin, I am passionate about improving river health around the globe. My aim is to inform water quality guidelines and make sure policy makers and community members understand the vital importance of healthy freshwater ecosystems,” Dr Holland said.
