Graham Farquhar is a Professor at the Australian National University (ANU), affiliated with the Research School of Biology. He holds a BSc (ANU), BSc (Queensland Hons), PhD (ANU), and a Doctor Honoris Causa (University of Antwerp). His research focuses on photosynthesis, plant physiology, and global change impacts.

Education:

• BSc, Australian National University
• BSc (Honours), University of Queensland
• PhD, Australian National University
• Doctor Honoris Causa, University of Antwerp

Research interests include nitrogen and water use efficiency in plants, stomatal physiology, isotopic analysis for environmental tracking, and C4 plant adaptation. His work bridges ecological and biochemical mechanisms under climate change.

Recent projects include investigations into tropical conifer CO2 responses and the physiological impacts of super-charged photosynthesis. He leads initiatives like the 'Environmental drivers, landscape determinants and control of snow-gum dieback' and 'Revealing the impacts of super-charged photosynthesis on leaf respiration.'
