About Hannah

Dr. Hannah Franklin is a Lecturer in the Environmental Sustainability and Management group within the School of Environment and Science at Griffith University, where she also serves as a Research Fellow at the Australian Rivers Institute. She earned her PhD in Ecology from Lincoln University, New Zealand, between 2011 and 2014, with a thesis titled 'The Interaction of New Zealand Native Plants with Nitrogen in Canterbury’s Agricultural Landscapes.' Prior to this, she obtained a Master's Degree in Ecology from the University of Canterbury. Her research specializes in freshwater biogeochemistry, riparian nutrient removal, sediment nutrient fluxes, nitrogen cycling, and restoration ecology. Franklin investigates natural river processes for water treatment, including how riparian plants manage nitrogen, sediment trapping by natural features, and nature-based solutions to improve water quality in catchments supplying the Great Barrier Reef and drinking water sources. Her work explores nutrient dynamics in ecosystems, effects of terrestrial dissolved organic matter on algal blooms, and denitrification in tropical floodplain wetlands.
