Australian savannah landscapes: past, present and future. Australian savannahs are productive and culturally and biologically significant landscapes but are vulnerable to climate change. The project will determine savannah function (carbon and water balance) for the present and assess how sensitive they have been to past climate variability. The project will then address how they may respond to future climate change.

Summary
Mobile isotope monitoring for environmental studies. This facility will enable a quantum leap in Australia's capacity to undertake real-time, field based studies of environmental processes using the natural isotope tracers of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. It will enable the researchers to address a range of fundamental research questions in climate change, water resources, ecology and human impact in tropical Australia.
