Other research interests include:

• Studies on Lake Coleman and other water bodies in the Gippsland Lakes: nutrient biogeochemistry, and the ecological significance and roles of different primary producer groups such as seagrasses, macroalgae, phytoplankton and benthic microalgae (Dr Simon Roberts)
• Energetics of algae: the role of CO₂ concentrating mechanisms (Sven Ihnken)
• Algae in freshwater biofilms: primary productivity and nutrient processing (Dr Slobodanka Stojkovic)
• Salinization of freshwater ecosystems (Belinda Cant)
• Effects of environmental factors on the biology of toxic microalgae from the Gippsland Lakes (Jackie Myers)
• Elucidation of cellular changes during differentiation of akinetes from vegetative cells of toxic cyanobacteria (with Dr Assaf Sukenik, Kinneret Limnological Institute, Israel).
