Overview

Background

Claire is an international expert in mine water and environmental management who has applied her academic and technical knowledge to influence the mining industry’s environmental performance. She has held several positions in research and consulting, and worked with mining companies in Australia, Africa, Chile and Canada to address issues related to water and sustainable development, documenting and implementing best practices. She gained extensive experience in the mining sector at Anglo American from 2011 to 2018, where she provided technical expertise on all topics related to environmental and water management, in Australia and Canada. She has led new approaches to improve planning for mine closure, including a review of closure plans for De Beers operations in Canada.

In her current role, she seeks to promote environmental excellence throughout the mining cycle, based on capacity building and targeted research programs on water and environmental management, integrated closure planning and beneficial post mining land uses. Claire is part of the newly formed Leading for High Reliability Centre at the University of Queensland, a collaboration between the Sustainable Minerals Institute, the School of Psychology and the Andrew N. Liveris Academy for Innovation and Leadership.
