Dr David Freebairn

David Freebairn has worked on natural resource management issus for 30 years and has a deep understanding of environmental and production issues faced by land managers. He believes even the scientific community is confused by the values of models and processes, and questions whether the use of models actually gets in the way of basic understanding.

The Fellowship enabled David to review catchment and planning models that have been developed over the last 20-25 years. David assessed the implications of a number of studies in Queensland, exploring hydrologic and water quality responses to land types and management.

David is Manager, Natural Resources Sciences with the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines based in Toowoomba, Queensland.
