ARC Research Network on Degraded Environment Assessment and Remediation

澳大利亚有超过8万个受污染的地点，有7.5亿公顷的土地受到土壤酸度、碱度、重金属、养分和农用化学品的影响。该研究网络通过与研究项目合作开发可持续解决方案，推进退化环境（土地、水和空气）的评估、管理和修复。共同的重点是尽量减少污染土壤和废物的处置和影响，以及土地补救。通过促进沟通，该网络加强了国家和国际研究协调，与监管机构、最终用户、行业和其他利益相关者的互动，为新举措实现了临界质量，加强了研究培训，并为关键的国家优先事项做出了贡献。

There are over 80,000 contaminated sites in Australia and >750,000,000 hectares of land impacted by soil acidity, sodicity, heavy-metals, nutrients and agricultural chemicals. The research network advances assessment, management and remediation of degraded environments (land, water, and air) through collaboration of the research programs developing sustainable solutions. The collective focus is minimising disposal and impacts of contaminated soil and wastes, and land remediation. By facilitating communication, the network enhances national and international research coordination, interaction with regulators, end-users, industry, and other stakeholders, achievement of critical mass for new initiatives, enhances research training and contributes to a critical National Priority.
