Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network New South Wales (TERN NSW)

Project Member(s): Huete, A.

Funding or Partner Organisation: Investment NSW (NSW RESEARCH ATTRACTION AND ACCELERATION PROGRAM)

Start year: 2016

Summary: The TERN NSW team will work together on developing a ‘NSW Ecosystem Change’ report (eBook style) which will focus on how Government (and Industry) can use the data and infrastructure made available through TERN to understand “Environmental Change” and potentially other grand challenges. It is important to note that this report is not intended to be a replacement for the “State of the Environment” reporting, rather a demonstration of how TERN’s approach to research infrastructure could lead to new innovations in this process, from our unique perspective.
