Program 8: Education and Training - Postgraduate Students
Program Leader: David Perry, Monash University

Meet our postgraduate students

More than 30 postgraduate research students are associated with the CRC through our scholarship program. CRC parties also offer several postgraduate coursework subjects.

The Centre’s postgraduate students are based at The University of Melbourne, Monash University, Griffith University and CSIRO Land and Water.

Below is a list of current CRC for Catchment Hydrology postgraduate students. Click on a name highlighted as a link to take you to that student's profile page.
