About
Dr Joji Abraham

Dr Joji Abraham’s PhD analysed fire and heavy metals, specifically dealing with how wild and controlled fires transform un-rehabilitated mining waste. Joji identified the importance of soil and water characterisation in association with both prescribed and bushfires in terms of arsenic and other heavy metals and consider the associated risks in terms of ecotoxicological effects, both locally and downstream.

Student project

Soil chemical properties before and after fire have been studied in a number of environments, but little research has conducted in areas with heavy metal concentrations, especially in mining-affected areas such as western Victoria. This research aimed to identify the importance of soil and water characterisation in association with controlled and wild bush fires in terms of arsenic and other heavy metals and consider the associated risks in terms of ecotoxicological effects, both locally and downstream.
