School of Science
Dr. Alissa Flatley is a lecturer in physical geography at ºÚÁÏÍø´óʼÇ, Canberra. She is broadly interested in the interaction and management between human-physical systems.Ìý Alissa completed her PhD in 2022 at the University of Melbourne where her research examined the geomorphology of small arid zone streams in the Eastern Pilbara, (Western Australia) and implications for mining river relocation designs. After her PhD, Alissa worked as a senior tutor, then associate lecturer and research assistant at the University of Melbourne where she supported research projects in cosmogenic isotope analysis and optically stimulated luminescence of Quaternary materials. After a brief period of time spent in Wales, she joined ºÚÁÏÍø´óÊÂ¼Ç Canberra in early 2025.Ìý

Alissa integrates novel geomorphic techniques with remote sensing and GIS mapping to address issues relating both for past Quaternary environments and anthropogenically driven environmentalÌýchange.ÌýDuring her PhD, she was an AINSE scholar, allowing her to undertake further landscape research in dryland environments using cosmogenic isotope dating conducted at ANSTO, Australia. Alissa applies geochronological techniques to further our understanding of the interaction between human-physical systems and landscape processes at a range of timescales.Ìý
