A recent report prepared by the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre (ACE-CRC) provides a general overview of the state of government coastal planning responses to the chal

Having locals identify environmental research needs for their own community is a key step to ensuring that research is relevant, appropriate and desirable for communities.

The Great Barrier Reef Outlook Report 2009 is a stock-take of the Great Barrier Reef, its management and its future.

The aim of the Outlook Report is to provide information about:

Dr. Susan Laurance completed a PhD at the University of New England followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at the NASA Large-scale Biosphere Atmosphere Experiment in the Amazon (2002-2004) and the Andrew Mellon Foundation, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panama (2004-2006). She is currently a Research Associate at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and has been a Tropical Leader and Senior Lecturer based at the School of Marine and Tropical Biology at James Cook University in Cairns since 2010.

Dr. Luke Shoo is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Biological Sciences, University of Queensland. Dr. Shoo has worked on a wide range of systems from mountaintop birds in tropical cloud forests to naturally regenerating rainforest in former agricultural landscapes. He has a strong interest in topical conservation issues including prioritisation of conservation actions to reduce tropical deforestation and restore degraded environments, and management of biodiversity under climate change.

Dr. Anthony is Program Leader: Healthy and Resilient Great Barrier Reef at AIMS. His key interest is in understanding coral reef ecosystem resilience under climate and ocean change. Ken started his career in 1995 when he pursued a PhD at JCU in coral reef biology. He then evolved from a physiologist to a broad systems ecologist seeing problems through two lenses: marine science and environmental management.
