Wetlands WA

This page provides links to articles on a variety of research projects that I have been involved in on Wetlands in Western Australia. I am using the Ramsar definition of wetlands which is extremely broad and covers anything effectively wet including coastal zones less than 10 m deep. However my research only covers inland waters. An asterix (*) indicates where research is ongoing.
