Liah has been on a mission to improve our understanding of waste stabilization ponds for over a decade armed with nothing but a miniature boat.

Her research is around the treatment of wastewater in waste stabilisation pond (also known as wastewater lagoons) assets, including sludge accumulation, microbial community characterisation, hydrodynamic modelling, and greenhouse gas emissions. Liah&#8217;s work is strongly end-user focussed and based, and has involved strong links with industry partners, including five major Australian water utilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Demonstrated outcomes of Liah&#8217;s research include a remote control boat platform and software used for conducting bathymetry surveys of water bodies, and waste stabilisation ponds in particular (i.e., sludge mapping). Her research has also involved development and implementation of training plans for water utilities for the uptake of this technology for use on their assets. This technology has been successfully implemented at five major Australian water utilities, but has seen broader applicability to the water industry and in environmental management.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from research in wastewater treatment, Liah has also been invovled in the bathymetry mapping and water quality assessment of urban lakes and rivers, including the first ever bathymetry mapping of the salt lakes on Rottnest Island, and quantification of sedimentation in natural pools along the Canning River.&nbsp;She is also obsessed with cake and has perfected her secret banana bread recipe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resources Related to the Episode (being updated&#8230;)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>References to other episodes:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Liah\u2019s episode, although independent, links closely to some topics that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petermbach.com\/index.php\/podcast\/011-anas-ghadouani\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Episode 11 with Anas Ghadouani<\/a><\/strong> covered as well<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We made reference to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petermbach.com\/index.php\/podcast\/005-peter-vanrolleghem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Episode 5 with Peter Vanrolleghem<\/a><\/strong> in regards to resource recovery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The ivory tower reference was also discussed in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/petermbach.com\/index.php\/podcast\/008-megan-farrelly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Episode 8 with Megan Farrelly<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Waste Stabilization Ponds:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is a waste stabilization pond?
