Peter Ridd Adjunct Fellow. Institute of Public Affairs

Peter Ridd is a geophysicist with over 100 publications and 40 years’ experience working on the
Great Barrier Reef and developed a wide range of world-first optical and electronic instruments for
measuring environmental conditions near corals and other ecosystems. He was head of Physics at
James Cook University for over a decade before being fired, in 2018, for questioning the quality
assurance systems used by reef science institutions. Some of the poor-quality work relates to the
effect, or lack of effect, of climate change, and agriculture, on the reef. Ridd now works, unpaid, with
agricultural organisations, and the Institute of Public Affairs to improve quality assurance systems of
“science” used by Australian governments to make environmental laws and regulations. He is also
Chairman of the Australian Environment Foundation.
