Course Participants, June 2002
The CRC
for Greenhouse Accounting is presenting a three day short
course on managing carbon in agricultural production systems,
for agricultural managers and the wider community. The principal
aim is to provide insight into current best-practice land
management strategies for maximising carbon storage potential
in agricultural production systems, in the context of national
and international carbon trading considerations.
The course
is focused around the 2002 CRC technical publication Range-ASSESS:
A Spatial Framework for Analysis of Potential for Carbon Sequestration
in Rangelands, and incorporates hands-on practical sessions
using this management support tool.
Topics to be
addressed include :
- Understanding
carbon cycling in agricultural systems
- Managing
grazing land and cropland for carbon storage
- Carbon impacts
of revegetation and afforestation
- Risk and
uncertainty in managing for carbon
- Scenario
assessment using Range-ASSESS
- Developing
Good Practice Guidelines for carbon management
The course will
be presented by senior Carbon Management experts from the Bureau
of Rural Sciences, Queensland Department of Natural Resources &
Mines, Queensland Department of Primary Industries, CSIRO, the Australian
National University, and others.
Managing
Carbon in Agricultural Systems will be of interest to land managers,
natural resource managers, consultants with an interest in this
area, and related public and private sector industries.

PROGRAM (pdf)
REGISTRATION FORM (word)
The CRC for
Greenhouse Accounting, jointly with the National Centre for Development
Studies at the Australian National University, is presenting a four
day short course on global change and earth systems for those working
in natural resource management, natural resource policy areas, and
the wider community.
The principal
aim in the course is to provide participants with an understanding
of the complex components of global change and their interactions,
for input to policy development for global change impact mitigation
and adaptation. Global change includes changes in atmospheric composition,
climate change, ozone depletion, human population growth, increased
global nitrogen deposition, changes in land cover and land use,
and increases in the rate of species extinctions.
The course focuses
around a series of recent international assessment reports, including
those of the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC), the United
Nations Environment Program and the Ozone Assessment. It will
develop participants' understanding of the status of the world's
natural resources, the global change pressures acting on them, and
the policy responses at international, national and local levels.
The course will be of interest to natural resource managers, natural
resource policymakers, consultants with an interest in this area,
and related public and private sector industries.
Global Change
and Earth Systems will be presented by Dr
Habiba Gitay, who has extensive experience as an author in the
recent IPCC reports, and is currently leading a report on Biodiversity
and Climate Change; and Dr
Janette Lindesay, an authority on climate variability and change.
Numbers are
strictly limited.
Course Dates:
16-19 July 2002
Venue: Australian National University, Canberra
Registration fee: $800 (ex GST) - includes all course materials,
morning/afternoon teas; student rates available on request.
