Environmental change, carbon cycling and human impact in tropical Australia

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This fellowhip will provide the fundamental science outputs required to understand the complex linkages between terrestrial ecosystems, environmental change and human impact in the tropics - in Australia and globally - thereby assisting in (i) predicting the response of tropical ecosystems to future environmental change and respond to the impacts of tropical climate variability (ii) developing and validating methodologies for improved carbon sequestration, verifiable carbon accounting and emissions trading (iii) achieving sustainability in the utilization of the natural resource base of tropical Australia by optimizing the balance between wealth creation and environmental impact
