Grant Hose

Grant Hose is a Professor at The University of Sydney, Department of BIO. His research focuses on community ecology, environmental assessment and monitoring, freshwater ecology, environmental management, conservation and biodiversity, and groundwater quality processes. His work examines the response of river and groundwater ecosystems, invertebrate and microbial communities to environmental change, and develops tools for assessing ecosystem health and condition. He and his team conduct field surveys and laboratory experiments to identify links between community change and environmental factors. His current research primarily addresses groundwater ecosystems, ecosystem health assessment, ecological risk assessments, and the role of groundwater invertebrates in ecosystem services.

Grant C Hose is a researcher at The University of Sydney with expertise in groundwater ecology, ecotoxicology, and ecosystem health. His work focuses on the impacts of anthropogenic stressors on subterranean ecosystems, including the effects of pesticides, salinity, and temperature changes on groundwater-dependent organisms. Hose investigates the health of groundwater ecosystems using eDNA and functional methodologies to assess the ecological significance of stygofauna. His research also explores the role of groundwater in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services, emphasizing the importance of groundwater-dependent vegetation and the need for effective monitoring and management strategies.
