Andrew Hall is a Senior Principal Research Fellow in Geospatial Science at Charles Sturt University, affiliated with the School of Agricultural, Environmental and Veterinary Sciences and the Gulbali Research Institute. He is based in Albury/Wodonga and plays a leading role in environmental water research, particularly within the Murrumbidgee River system. He is also the academic lead for CSU in the One Basin CRC, fostering major collaborative research initiatives.
- BSc in Geography, University of Otago
- MSc with Distinction in Climatology, University of Otago
- PhD in Remote Sensing, Charles Sturt University
Andrew Hall's research focuses on applying geospatial science to environmental challenges. His primary interests include remote sensing image analysis, climatology and hydrology, landscape phenology, and climate change modeling. He is internationally recognized for pioneering high-resolution vegetation remote sensing and studying plant phenology responses to climate variability. His work supports ecological water management and biodiversity conservation in regulated river systems.
The recent publications reflect a strong trend in environmental water management, particularly in the Murrumbidgee Basin. Themes include assessing biodiversity, monitoring vegetation (e.g., lignum) via drones, evaluating environmental watering impacts on amphibians, and long-term monitoring of river systems. His work combines geospatial analysis, field data, and modeling to inform policy and ecological outcomes.
Andrew Hall has received significant recognition for his research contributions:
- Vice-Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Research (2015)
- Capacity Development Grant for Water Resources Management in Indonesia (2022)
- RHRI Small Grant on Climate Impacts in Rural Aged Care (2023)
- “Stories of One Basin” Grant for Indigenous-led Climate Research (2024)
He has been a named investigator on over $30 million in external grants and has led major research initiatives, including the development of the One Basin CRC. He has supervised postgraduate students and contributed extensively to curriculum development, co-developing 18 geospatial subjects and helping design the Bachelor of Geospatial Science. He is actively involved in research leadership, public outreach, and professional engagement, including conferences and media appearances. He is a key member of the Sustainable Aquatic Systems and Water Research teams.
