Dr Ralph Ogden
Executive Manager, Urban / Ecology / International, eWater CRC

Ralph leads teams creating decision support software that will help city planners manage urban water, whether in allotments, regions or river systems. He was formerly the Director of Knowledge Exchange in the CRC for Freshwater Ecology, forerunner of eWater CRC. He has held research positions with CSIRO Land and Water and the University of Canberra and has extensive experience in translating science into a form useful for water managers. He has studied the impacts of resource development on billabongs, influences driving physical habitat in rivers, and flooding effects on floodplains. A special interest is how scientific knowledge becomes embedded into policy and management.
