About Living Wetlands and Vishnu Prahalad

Vishnu has been at the University of Tasmania since 2007. He moved to Tasmania from a career in engineering and information technology based in India. He completed his Masters in Applied Science (Environmental Studies) and PhD studies at the University of Tasmania. Over the past decade, Vishnu has re-developed and delivered the largest post graduate and 2^nd year under graduate unit in the KGA (Geography) stream.

Apart from teaching part-time, Vishnu has been involved in a number of contract research projects, working with the Australian Government, Natural Resource Management groups, and local community groups. He also does a considerable amount of in-kind work for community groups and organisations that support social and environmental outcomes.

Vishnu has set up a not-for-profit enterprise called Living Wetlands with the mission to support wetlands related science communication that connects his research work with community engagement activities. A notable milestone in his research is the publication of the book: A Guide to the Plants of Tasmanian Saltmarsh Wetlands, in 2015.
