From jenifer.ticehurst at anu.edu.au Fri Sep 1 09:47:01 2006 From: jenifer.ticehurst at anu.edu.au (Jenifer Ticehurst) Date: Fri Sep 1 09:47:22 2006 Subject: [Sres-postdocs] Re: [Icam-staff] More on SRES Printing Quotas/ agenda for meeting of graduate students 12 noon Monday 4 Sept In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <7.0.1.0.0.20060901094411.01a7ece0@anu.edu.au> Peter, One issue I have had in the past with two-to-a-page printing, particularly of word documents to the printer in room 108, is that the pages are passed through the printer but nothing is actually printed on to the sheets. It is not all the time, but when it does happen I just reprint 1 to a page. I am not sure whether others have had this problem, or whether I am doing something wrong. Just thought I'd mention it.

It's been a week full of fascinating sessions, ranging from interplanetary Geochemistry and planet formation, high pressure geochemistry, and more relevant to me there have been some top quality sessions on Biochemistry and Biogeochemistry. There have also been some great talks about newly developing techniques for the study of biota-environment landscapes... fascinating stuff. Thursday was the day I couldn't wait for. I presented my paper in the symposium on Microbe-Mineral Interactions yesterday afternoon, and filled the auditorium (a nice change compared to my last departmental presentation which attracted only 4 people from the department, including myself). But even better was that I chaired the session, and even managed to keep the speakers pretty close to time, even after a few minor technical gliches. (Birte Schoettker, SRES/iCAM PhD Scholar) My work-related travel till the mid of August included stays in 1. Germany and 2. Italy. 1. In Germany I visited the Centre for Remote Sensing on Land Applications (ZFL), in Bonn, an interdisciplinary research and teaching centre at the University of Bonn. I met Dr Matthias Braun, the Project Coordinator of the ZFL, who had invited me to use their facilities and technical equipment in their remote sensing laboratory and discuss my research. The running projects in the ZFL cover precision farming, Earth-Observation-based yield estimates, urban areas, land-use & land-cover change, land degradation and desertification, hydrological applications of remote sensing data, biomass production. My major interest for my own research was their work on land use & land cover change, desertification & land degradation. Mainly the multi-sensoral approaches in remote sensing and the aspects of pre-processing of the data and systematic classification approaches to distinguish highly (temporally and spatially) variable and heterogenous areas and the more detailed use of object-oriented image analysis software (eCognition), were topics we discussed according to my PhD-approach. We talked about the appropriate accuracy I would like to aim at and state of the art in using satellite imagery to derive information on land condition. Furthermore, I spent about two weeks in the Remote Sensing Research Group (RSRG) at the Geographical Department of the University of Bonn, where I decided to use the facilities to work on my research and poster for the following summer school at ESA, in ESRIN, Frascati, Italy. In the RSRG I presented my conceptual framework, approach and first results to some group members, met with several people and had exceptionally fruitful discussions, e.g. on the derivation of appropriate spatial scales and the problems resolving from data of different resolutions in multi-sensoral, multi-data approaches, simpler and robust land-use modelling and very helpful exchange on the further conceptualising of the scope of a remotely sensed high quality PhD work. I met and discussed with high-profile PhD-students on, e.g. working on land cover/land use classification in a semiarid environment using multi-temporal satellite data, on the determination of natural potential using the fuzzy logic based marginality index and data from several sources, and a bit on modelling vulnerability high-temporal-resolution satellite data. Additionally, I met with Dr Simone Giertz of the Hydrological Research Group of the Geographical Department in Bonn, who has been assessing the effects of land use change on soil physical properties and hydrological processes in the sub-humid tropical environment of West Africa. Although in a different environmental system, her expertise on hydrological modelling (soil erosion and nutrients) to more efficient management of scarce water resources and the functional relationships between spatio-temporal vegetation dynamics and water cycle were and will be of good value for me. In the same group they have investigated in modelling sediment transport at different spatial and temporal scales. Dr Giertz indicated interest in the exchange about information and results of my research. 2. In went to Italy, because I got accepted to participate in the (now I know) really excellent 2006 3rd ESA (European Space Agency) summer school which was held in ESRIN (near Rome) from 31 Jul to 11 Aug 2006. ESA is Europe's gateway to space, that is how they call themselves. They aim at shaping the development of Europe's space capability with 17 member states and ensuring that investment in space continues to deliver benefits to the environment. ESA has set up a long-term summer school training programme (since 2002) to promote the exploitation of Earth Observation (EO) data across disciplines, with a particular focus on the use of numerical models and Data Assimilation (DA) techniques to maximise the scientific and economic benefits of satellite data. Therefore the summer school covered a broad spectrum of research issues related to the monitoring and modelling of the Earth System - including the ocean, atmosphere, biosphere and cryosphere. The cross cutting focus was on Data Assimilation techniques illustrating how they maximise the scientific and economic value of Earth Observation data. Emphasised was the key challenge for environmental scientists and policy-makers today, the quantification of the present state of the global environment and the forecast of its future evolution. The school included lectures by leading scientists reinforced by hands-on computing exercises which enabled us students to the practicalities of remote sensing, modelling and data assimilation techniques. The major keynote lecture on Global Change was given by Prof Dr Hartmut Gra l, director of the Max-Planck- Institute for Meteorology. The lectures on Global Change in particular were given to synthesise the current state of the science and discuss its relationship to society in order to help students appreciate how their specific field fits into a broader scientific and political context. I have to admit, I did appreciate this very much as helpful and motivating concept beside many excellent lectures e.g. on surface reflectance, soil moisture and much work on very specific environmental questions during the practicals. Despite attending the lectures and working in teams of 2-5 people through the practical exercises and the final project we had to present, an exceptional environment was established to exchange and discuss with the lecturers and the students of high quality. I discussed issues on the choice and quality (radiometric correction, BRDF correction, choice and development of appropriate algorithms) of remotely sensed data on vegetation with Dr Michel Verstraete from the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES), one of institutes that constitute the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (JRC). I could ask for a customised data request for my research for top end quality EO-data on vegetation state and condition (FAPAR). I have discussed with Z. (Bob) Su, Professor of Spatial Hydrology and Water Resources Management at the International Institute of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (ITC, Enschede), on the quality, precision and potential application of a passive microwave surface soil moisture product from the AQUA satellite (AMSR-E) for my modelling research. Other discussions were frequent and included some with Pierre Brasseur (Laboratory of Geophysical and Industrial Fluid Flows (LEGI)) on data assimilation and its potential applicability in my research and frequent discussions with Amos Lawless (NERC (Natural Environment Research Council) Data Assimilation Research Centre, DARC) on the Data Assimilation application and practicals, as every student or project group had a chance to, which I consider to be a sign of very good supervision during that time. The first week we were introduced and asked to perform image analysis exercises in BILKO software (http://www.noc.soton.ac.uk/bilko/); the UNESCO Bilko Project began in 1987. Since then the project has produced several modules of computer-based lessons with the aim to facilitate "hands-on" training in coastal and marine remote sensing for the traditionally excluded from such training (e.g. due to costs). Personally, that was interesting and we could get insight into some very interesting phenomenon in the coastal waters (mainly using new AATSR data), but being sure I would not use the software myself, the benefit might be really for other target groups. We provided feedback and suggestions to improve lessons. The students were asked to present their work during a workshop and poster session on in the following categories: Observing Systems, Earth System Modelling, Data Assimilation, and Global Change. I presented my poster on Remote Sensing to improve water quality modelling in a coastal catchment and had few requests and discussions getting impetus for my future work, approach and methods, but little input on the challenge to capture a particular physical phenomenon. It was a very well organised and intensive school (my first), which I left, having learnt a very much indeed on the scientific point of view and having had the chance for excellent networking with students as well as lecturers. This school motivated me highly, and it literally did inspire. I can only recommend it or similar summer schools for the appropriate filed of research. The summer school in general is open to young researchers (Ph.D. students, young post-doc) across the world belonging to a variety of Earth science disciplines (e.g. meteorology, oceanography, biology, remote sensing, modelling), which resulted in a very interesting group but with sometimes very varying interests. As ESA launched Envisat, an advanced polar-orbiting Earth observation satellite with several sensors, a certain focus and data and products available through this satellite was obvious. Participation is limited and ESA received more than 200 applications from 47 countries for the 2nd ENVISAT school.

The Programme is jointly managed by the Department of Education Science and Training (DEST) and its French counterparts, the Ministry of National Education, Universities and Research (MENESR) and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE). The objective of FAST is to promote and support scientific and technological cooperation between Australian and French researchers in both public and private sectors. FAST will provide financial assistance, on a competitive basis, for small collaborative research projects (including project specific follow-up meetings) between Australian and French researchers. Activities that are eligible for funding support are only international travel and living expenses. Accordingly, funding does not extend to insurances, salaries and equipment expenses. Under the FAST programme, Australia will contribute up to $A250,000 per round and France up to 150,000 ? per round. Individual applications may request funding for up to 2 years. Under the 2007 FAST programme round, applications will be considered for research collaboration in the areas of natural resources, energy and life sciences. Applications must be for funding for collaboration between Australian and French partners. Each partner must submit an application to their respective Government (DEST for the Australian applicants, EGIDE for the French). Australian applicants should refer to the FAST guidelines, available at https://sciencegrants.dest.gov.au/ISL/, before commencing their application.

The majority of my time in the Institute involved the development of draft publications and PhD thesis chapters under the guidance of Professor J?rgen Bauhus. I was also involved in various undergraduate field excursions and seminars within the Faculty of Forest and Environmental studies. I was fortunate to attend a ConForest Conference, a group of European forest researchers and managers which have come together to look at issues surrounding the conversion of even-aged/even-structure forests to uneven-aged/structure forests. This was an excellent opportunity to interact with forest researchers from all Europe and enjoy some interesting topics of discussion. Funding was provided by the CRC for Forestry and a Baden-W?rttemburg Stipend. Kerry Arabena I have been to the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Pyschiatrists Triennial COnference in Cairns called Creating Futures: Influencing social determinants of mental health and well-being in rural, indigenous and Island peoples. The conference focused on theoretical debates and evidence based interventions. The focii were on effective interventions, family empowerment, and how practitioners, services and models of care could support improved outcomes. Also while in Cairns I attended the Cooperative Research Centre for Aboriginal Health social and emotional well being program Industry Roundtable; a workshop to develop research themes and questions for development over the next 3-5 years.

Work will start at 6am this Wednesday with the demolition of the upstairs units. As described below (please read), the initial phase includes the use of jack hammers so will be very noisy. I have requested that any noisy work be carried out before the start of afternoon teaching. While there will be some inconvenience, we have accepted the offer to start work before the end of teaching so we do not slip further down the work schedule and into next year. There should be no overlap between the work upstairs and down, so there should always be at least one set of toilets available in the Forestry building throughout the ~8 week(!) building process. Please let me know if you have comments/issues/problems with any of this or at any time during the renovation. Thanks Clive Hi Folks F&S have asked me if there is any possibility they can start the renovation process on the upstairs ladies toilet in the Forestry building. This toilet currently has only limited functionality. The initial few days will be noisy with jack hammers and concrete drills in operation. Whats more, the whole demolition/plumbing/building/tiling process takes 4(!!) weeks. Upstairs teaching will probably be difficult with the noise created during this time. F101, 102, 106 and 108 all have bookings during the next 2 weeks. Are these all current or just automatic entries from earlier teaching bookings? Please get back to me by Monday 11am so I can give the go ahead or delay the work until after teaching has finished for the year.

ABSTRACT: Recent exploration missions to Mars have produced a wealth of new data that are challenging ideas about fundamental geological processes on the red planet. Of particular interest is understanding of the magmatic evolution of the crust, the origin of ancient sedimentary rocks, the history of near-surface water, and evidence for climate change. In this presentation, I will discuss new spectral data and mineralogical interpretations of the martian surface. Geomorphic context and comparison to analogous spectral data of altered terrestrial materials suggest that vast portions of the surface are composed of basaltic regolith that has experienced chemical weathering under conditions of low water/rock ratios - probably in the recent past. An alternate interpretation is that vast areas of the surface are composed of andesitic lavas, which has major implications for formation and evolution of the crust. Other, localized areas on Mars appear to have been altered under conditions of high water/rock ratios in the distant past (>4 Ga). Clay minerals detected in one area correspond to a thick (>1.5 km) section of clastic bedrock (shales and sandstones?) from early martian history. These exciting new results are showing evidence for climate change through time on Mars and have major implications of aqueous processing of the crust, recent surface processes, and the past habitability of the surface. Wednesday 13 September, 4 PM Geology Theatre, Ground floor DEMS. Drinks and nibbles will be provided after the seminar. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Travel Reports Peter Kanowski/ Alfredo Fantini - Forest policy & practices field course, Tasmania, 10-16 September We accompanied the FSTY4005 class on a 5-day field course, largely following the program developed in previous years, which addresses issues associated with private forestry in the NE of Tasmania, and with forestry on public lands in the S of Tasmania. We spent two days on each of these issues in the field, and then a concluding day in Hobart hearing from a range of interests, including those representing agriculture, conservation, forest managers and researchers, and the forest industries. The pre-field course reports which students were required to complete were the best since I initiated this requirement 4 years ago, and student learning on the course was correspondingly enhanced (my compliments to them). Alfredo has some insightful observations and comparisons with the Brazilian situation, for those who would like to discuss with him, and students will presenting an oral version of their field course report on the afternoon of 12 October, for anyone interested. Peter's observation is that there continue to be significant improvements (eg, in the Forest Practices system; initiatives relevant to many conservation criteria) as well as continuing challenges (eg the divisions in the Tasmanian community; various court cases; particular forest practices) in Tasmanian forestry. As previously, the field course offered much learning for us all. Costs were shared bteween the students, SRES, and my consultancy a/c. Rosie Cooney - CITES and Livelihoods workshop, 5 - 7 September held at South Africa National Biodiversity Institute, Kirstenbosch, Cape Town, organised by Fauna & Flora International, IUCN - The World Conservation Union, WWF, Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology, International Institute of Environment and Development , and TRAFFIC. This was a technical workshop, attended by the CITES authorities of around 40 countries, to examine how implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) could contribute to livelihoods. CITES implementation involves trade controls on a wide range of species, most of which are not endangered, and many of which are traded at high levels. The impacts of CITES on livelihoods has been an issue within CITES for a number of years, with some countries arguing that CITES decisions should take into account their impacts on livelihoods, particularly of the poor, and other countries arguing that livelihood concerns have no place within a biodiversity conservation arena. (Australia has been among the latter, and did not attend.) The workshop involved a series of presentations exploring livelihoods issues in more depth, a series of country presentations exploring the links between CITES, wildlife trade and livelihoods in specific countries, and in-depth small group discussions on the way forward. The workshop made a series of recommendations which will be tabled at the next CITES Standing Committee meeting in October.

Travel Reports Glen Bann Last week I attended the Australian Society Agronomy 13th Conference in Perth where I presented a poster titled ?Dryland salinity and agronomy in south east Australia: groundwater processes or soil degradation due to intensive grazing and cropping?? and also gave a plenary talk titled ?The use of native (endemic) grass and tree species for dryland salinity mitigation, remediation and agronomy activities in south-east Australia?. Although both papers were quite different to the other presentations, both received positive feedback and discussion. I also visited Professor Richard Hobbs at Murdoch University to discuss my research, who is arguably the Australian expert on salinity/ecology/ landscape degradation and finished the trip with a hectic 2 day wheatbelt salinity adventure tour ? which was an invaluable eye opener. My CRC LEME funds and an ASA student travel bursary paid for the trip. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Kirsten Maclean On Thursday 7 September I presented a workshop to a group of individuals involved in biodiversity management in north central Victoria. The workshop participants included individuals from the North Central Catchment Management Authority, the Bendigo office of the Victorian Departments of Planning and Infrastructure and Sustainability and Environment as well as local community members from the region. Several of these individuals informed a case study I used as part of my PhD research. The workshop presented a selection of theoretical and applied principles to improve knoweldge sharing for local environmental governance and management projects. It stimulated heated debate between participants with several government employees requesting a formal document of the research findings to inform their practice into the future. In November I will present similar workshops to the Desert Knowledge CRC, to government employees from the Northern Territory Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Environment and the Central Land Council as well as pastoralists from the southern Tanami region of central Australia. These individuals informed a second case study from my PhD.

Message-ID: Dear SRES & other colleagues You will know of the helicopter crash in eastern Nepal on Saturday. Sadly, three SRES alumni were amongst those aboard: - Jill Bowling, of WWF, completed her PhD in human sciences (now human ecology) in 1985; - Damodar Parajuli and Sharad Rai, the Secretary of Conservation and and Director-General of Forestry, respectively, were both ANU Master's graduates in forestry; they were two amongst the many Nepali scholars supported by/ associated with long-running Nepal-Australia Forestry/ Community Development Project. I have sent messages of sympathy from ANU via their organisations, and we'll honour them at morning tea today and subsequently as appropriate. It's clear that the death of so many people leading conservation and sustainable development initiatives in Nepal is a great setback for that work, as well as representing many personal tragedies.
