Kate Tunstill

Kate is a PhD student at the University of Newcastle looking at the effects of salinity, water level and tide in estuarine wetlands on the endangered green and golden bell frog. After completing a science degree in Conservation and Biodiversity and honours in Environmental Science, she decided to move to Newcastle to begin a PhD. This move was sparked by her life time interest in amphibians as well as a keen curiosity in coastal wetlands and water toxicology. This project has enabled Kate to work closely with both the Conservation Science Research Group (CSRG) and the Coasts and Estuaries Research Group (CERG).
