Bree Morgan

Bree Morgan is a Lecturer at Curtin University's School of Earth and Planetary Sciences within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. Her research focuses on Earth surface geochemistry, contaminant mobility, mine waste remediation, and carbon capture technologies. She also holds a part-time role in the Office of the Provost.

Dr. Morgan has held academic positions at the University of Sydney (2017–2024) and Monash University (2015–2017), with prior roles in CSIRO, consulting firms, and government agencies. Her work bridges environmental geochemistry with practical solutions for landscape restoration and sustainability.

Research interests include:

• Biogeochemical signatures in surface systems
• Acid mine drainage and sulfate soil impacts
• Carbon sequestration via mineral carbonation
• Rare earth element cycling as environmental tracers
• Coastal and marine geochemical processes

Her publications (2012–2023) emphasize mineral carbonation mechanisms, contaminant behavior in sediments, and geochemical applications for environmental remediation. She has pioneered studies on nesquehonite's CO2 storage potential and rare earth element mobilization in acid-affected environments.

Professional service includes part-time contributions to academic governance through Curtin's Provost Office, balancing her research and teaching commitments.
