Funded Activity Summary
Australian mountain environmental research infrastructure facility. This project aims to establish the Australian Mountain Research Infrastructure Facility (AMRIF). The facility will catalyse and support world-leading ecosystem, evolutionary and biophysical science to engage and build capacity of decision makers responsible for managing Australia's mountains. Australia's High Mountains provide critical water supply, clean energy, unique biodiversity, recreation and education opportunities but face an ecological crisis from climate and land use change. The AMIRF will bring together leading institutions and researchers to produce world-leading ecosystem, evolutionary and biophysical science to guide adaptive management of High Mountains across Australia. It will support research to assess the extent and effects of changing climate, water and fire regimes on ecosystem processes and their feedback, and provide a structure for integrated research, management and governance of Australia's mountains.Funded Activity Details
