| Research Interests |
- Basic strategic and applied aspects of factors affecting the establishment, growth and sustainability of native pastures, understorey and canopy species on mined land.
- Plant stress physiology
- Nutrient utilisation strategies in native species.
- Role of mycorrhizas in disturbed land rehabilitation.
- Nutrient cycling and development of success indicators for mined land.
- Soil-plant water relations of native species.
- Assessment of native ecosystem development on disturbed land.
|
| Education/Training Interests |
- Development of postgraduate coursework programs and initiatives that will provide both on-campus teaching and flexible delivery training modules to remote sites and overseas.
- Development of technology exchange opportunities and training courses for overseas scientists and mining environment practitioners working on the engineering, environmental and social aspects of mining.
