Sarah B. O'Hea Miller
Sarah O'Hea Miller is an Ecohydrologist with the New South Wales Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW), where she works to improve the understanding and management of freshwater ecosystems across New South Wales. Her work integrates hydrology, ecology, and environmental monitoring to support evidence-based water management, with a focus on riverine vegetation, freshwater biodiversity, and ecosystem health.
Sarah completed her PhD at the University of Wollongong in 2022, investigating the threats facing the critically endangered Fitzroy Falls spiny crayfish (Euastacus dharawalus). She has more than eight years of experience researching Australia's freshwater crayfish, including studies on their ecology, conservation, movement, and responses to environmental change. Her research has also examined the impacts of invasive crayfish on native species and has contributed to improving conservation and management strategies for Australia's unique freshwater fauna.
In her current role, Sarah leads and contributes to projects spanning ecohydrology, freshwater crayfish ecology, vegetation monitoring and water management. She has extensive experience in field ecology, environmental monitoring, telemetry, and data analysis.
