Dr Deborah Milham-Scott graduated from the Flinders University of South Australia with a Bachelor of Science majoring in physiology and psychology. She continued her tertiary education at James Cook University in North Queensland where she learned the art of electron microscopy and graduated with a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Marine Biology (Physiology and Behaviour).
After working on Heron Island studying the reproductive lifecycles of salps and the specificity of fertilisation between different species of sea cucumber Deborah gained a position at the Centre for Microscopy and Microanalysis at the University of Queensland where she assisted university research staff and students. Deborah’s passion for the ocean lead to humpback whale research, and an investigation into ecological health indicators, in the waters surrounding Australia and the Pacific Ocean through which she completed her PhD with the Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering at the University of Queensland.
Deborah has attended five universities and has been employed at two universities where she has taught chemistry, biology, sustainability, ecology, biodiversity, electron microscopy and statistics since 1990. She has played a significant role in the administration, development and modification of various courses and the introduction of a blended learning model for students more recently. Deborah also holds a Graduate Diploma of Education and teaches at some local secondary schools, inspiring stewardship of our amazing Sunshine Coast where she has lived for over 25 years.
Deborah’s love for the Sunshine Coast and determination to maintain its pristine quality has sparked her curiosity to investigate and develop a predictive water quality model for the Sunshine Coast. She hopes that similar unique models can be developed for all coastal towns and cities so that the Australian coastline will continue to provide our population with a variety of natural resources.
