Biography

Janet Anstee is the Head of CSIRO's AquaWatch Australia.

Janet is an aquatic remote sensor who specialises in applying validated bio-optical models to advance water quality discrimination and enhance understanding of aquatic habitats. She has helped develop and apply innovative and complex remote sensing methodologies for monitoring coastal habitats and inland water quality using hyperspectral and multispectral sensors. This work involves atmospheric radiative transfer and semi-analytical inversion models and is underpinned by substantial scientific, technical and logistical expertise in aquatic remote sensing calibration and validation.

Janet has demonstrated experience in engaging with First Nations communities through the Eye on Water project and is also the First Nations Engagement Lead for AquaWatch.
