Bio
Dr Stuart Simpson is the leader of the Water Quality Management Group within the Industry Environments Program of CSIRO Land and Water, located in Sydney, Australia. The group combines excellent analytical chemistry facilities (NATA accreditation) with biological (bioassays, omics) testing using a range of aquatic and terrestrial species, and provides expert advice and leadership on contaminant issues in Australia. The research extends to microbiology and pathogens and spans freshwater-marine, tropical-polar climates. For contaminants science it is directed towards the analysis, speciation, fate, toxicity and the derivation of guidelines of chemical and non-chemical stressors in the environment, including soils, sediments, waters, groundwaters and effluents. For pathogens we have a suite of detection and quantification platforms, including sequencing, qPCR, digital PCR, robotic handling and bespoke methods for rapid remote detection and source tracking. The group frequently mobilises its capability in response to national emergencies and urgent government.
Dr Simpson is an expert in sediment quality assessment, with more than 25 years of research experience in the field of environmental risk assessment, including both research (method development) and its application (consulting to industry), including dredging and contaminated site remediation. His major research interest is sediment quality assessment, focussing on the quantification of the form (environmental chemistry, speciation), behaviour (reactivity, fate and processes controlling speciation, bioavailability), ecotoxicological effects (lab and field assessments lethal, sub-lethal, to chronic effects and bioaccumulation, and ecogenomics applications), and the development of guidelines for regulating contaminants in sediments. This research has involved the development of cause-effect relationships between contaminant and non-contaminant stressors and biological/ecological effects and the development and application of sediment quality guidelines and assessment tools. He has a broad interest in the analytical and environmental chemistry of contaminants in aquatic environments; fate and reactivity, factors modifying bioavailability, and interactions with non-chemical stressors. He has a broad knowledge of environmental risk assessment.
Research areas of special interest have included:
1. water and sediment quality assessment
2. development, application and validity of generic and site-specific water and sediment quality criteria
3. mitigating impacts of industry-derived contaminants on ecosystems
4. site remediation and closure
5. techniques for sampling and ultratrace analysis of contaminants in aquatic environments
6. mobility and fate of contaminants in effluent mixing zones, including acidic drainage waters
7. speciation and bioavailability of contaminants in waters and sediments
8. development of cause-effect relationships between contaminants on aquatic organisms
9. development of sediment ecotoxicology tests and application for sediment quality assessment
10. prediction of contaminant bioavailability and toxicity
11. impact of mining operations on aquatic systems.
12. pathogens (Biosurveillance for biosecurity and health purposes)
Dr Simpson has a strong history of applying this knowledge to achieve useful outcomes for industry and government. For industry, projects have included advising on ‘sound practice’ and assisting with complex assessments of environmental impacts from proposed, active, or decommissioning industries (including remediation strategies for contaminants at legacy sites). For government (State and Federal), projects have included guideline and assessment framework development, expert reviews and advisory roles. His research skills include that assessment of fate and potential effects of contaminants in both freshwater and marine environments, and multiple environmental media (waters, sediments, soils and biota tissues). Working closely with government, the best of this science becomes incorporated into revisions of guidance, guidelines and assessment frameworks. For industry, developing and providing advanced tools and experimentation necessary to better assess risks and manage contaminant impacts operations.
