Person

Stauber, Jennifer (Jenny)

Occupation
Ecotoxicologist, Environmental scientist and Toxicologist

Summary

Jenny Stauber is an expert in environmental risk assessment and aquatic ecotoxicology whose particular research interest is in the effect of organic and inorganic contaminants on microalgae and invertebrates. In 2008 she was appointed Deputy Chief of the CSIRO's Division of Land and Water, after 30 years of experience in the field. She has written over 300 scientific and technical publications detailing her research. She is a pioneer of the use of laser-based flow cytometry to monitor ecotoxicity in aquatic conditions.

Stauber was awarded the following CSIRO medals:

2006 - CSIRO Medal for Research Achievement (with Graham Batley, team leader, Stuart Simpson and colleagues) for research advancing the assessment and regulation of contaminants in aquatic sediments, involving revised assessment protocols, new toxicity tests, and improved frameworks, underpinning revised sediment quality guidelines and defensible management actions that are appropriately protective of Australia's benthic and aquatic ecosystems;

In 2017 Stauber was awarded the CSIRO Medal for Lifetime Achievement for her landmark research on the bioavailability and toxicity of contaminants underpinning the development of the national water and sediment quality guidelines for environmental protection in Australasia and globally over 38 years.
