Steering Committee

The steering committee for the Terrestrial Biodiversity Adaptation Research Network includes some of the most eminent climate change biologists in Australia including two ARC Federation Fellows. Additional expertise and perspectives are provided by a number of distinguished international contributors. The depth and diversity of experience, expertise and knowledge represented by this committee will ensure the success of this network and was chosen to provide representation across states, ecosystems and disciplines.

Collaborators

Although still in its fledgling stage, this network already includes over 390 experts across 110+ institutions and includes state and federal biodiversity groups. Key researchers and organisations around the globe have committed to be part of the network. We have strategically included expertise in a variety of fields and disciplines, from ecology and biodiversity to mathematical modeling, policy and conservation planning. We have explicitly invited membership and participation in the network from resource management and policy groups and will continue to develop these links in all states and at the national level.

Functional Structure

The functional structure of the network consists of the combined expertise of the full network and a steering committee to provide overall management and guidance to the network with representation across the major nodes, ecosystems, states and areas of expertise.
