Myers contributes to empirical modeling of sediment dynamics in urban streams like Dry Creek, demonstrating strong relationships between streamflow and suspended sediment concentration. His analysis reveals implications for water quality and infrastructure management in urbanized catchments. He also investigates groundwater impacts of forestry plantations, showing deemed water use rates overestimate actual impacts.

Recent publications emphasize multi-method trend analysis of hydroclimatic variables, highlighting seasonal rainfall increases and temperature rise effects in South Australia. He has supervised research on historical drainage system performance in Adelaide's Frederick Street catchment, documenting declining drainage standards due to infill development.

Myers collaborates extensively with institutions like the Goyder Institute for Water Research and CSIRO, applying innovative modeling approaches (TFPW-MK test, Innovative Trend Analysis) to address urban water management challenges. His work supports evidence-based flood mitigation strategies and sustainable water resource planning.
