Mark Stafford-Smith has worked for CSIRO, predominantly based in Alice Springs for 21 years. He was the Chief Executive Officer for the CRC for Desert Knowledge and has a deep understanding, and love of the Australian Rangelands. He is one of Australia’s and the world’s leading rangeland scientists.
Australia’s red desert country has unique challenges related to its climate, geology and demography. Mark will use the Fellowship to look at how decisions about natural resources are made in rangelands, especially the red desert country. He examined the alignment of environmental variability and local and traditional ecological understanding of the land.
