Donald McFarlane

Donald McFarlane is an Adjunct Professor at the School of Agriculture and Environment, University of Western Australia. His research focuses on hydrology, climate change impacts, groundwater systems, and remote sensing, with emphasis on Western Australia's environmental challenges. He has contributed to studies on groundwater recharge dynamics, urbanization effects, and sustainable water management.

Research Interests: His work addresses surface water characterization, climate adaptation strategies, and ecohydrological metrics for intermittent rivers. Techniques include multispectral imaging and remote sensing for hydrological analysis.

Key Contributions: Recent studies include groundwater responses to drying climates and identifying hydrologically similar river sections. His research supports UN Sustainable Development Goals related to clean water and climate action.

Collaborations: He collaborates with institutions like CSIRO on groundwater studies, contributing to datasets on wastewater treatment impacts. His work is frequently Open Access and cited across environmental science domains.
