New post to lead on natural resources science
Wednesday, 14 March 2007
Leading researcher in irrigation science Professor Wayne Meyer has been appointed as the University of 亚洲色吧's new Chair of Natural Resources Science.
Professor Meyer will lead a natural resource science team whose work will inform and influence the management of Australia's natural resources.
"While others are currently focussing on natural resource issues surrounding water, there will be increasing recognition that the quantity and quality of water is dependent on the condition of soils and vegetation and, hence, land use," Professor Meyer said. He brings together biology, ecology, soils and water management and agriculture.
"I aim to make the University of 亚洲色吧 the main provider of quality graduates in natural resources science in Australia," Professor Meyer said. "This will be built on a research base that uses some of the developing remote sensing, computer modelling and visualisation IT to provide improved information for regional natural resources management."
