Misko Ivezich

Misko Ivezich is an environmental engineer who specialises in river processes and restoration. He has undertaken hundreds of waterway assessments across Australia and Asia and specialises in helping stakeholders understand the complex interactions between river hydraulics, sediment transport and channel form. He has been involved in the development waterway strategies and designs ranging from small urban stream restoration projects to multi-million dollar river restoration projects. He is currently helping lead major programs of river management within Great Barrier Reef catchments to reduce sediment loads from impacting on the reef. Misko has a keen interest in advancing river restoration science having presented at both national and international conferences in recent years on the interactions between floods, sediment transport and stream stability. He also regularly delivers training courses in fluvial geomorphology and river restoration science.
