ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide to host TERN 3rd Annual Symposium
The (TERN) will have its at the National Wine Centre, Adelaide, on 28-29 March.
The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide is a founding partner in TERN, and two key research facilities are based at the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥.
TERN relies on hi-tech equipment in the field and sophisticated data collection and sharing to provide the best, most up-to-date information to environmental scientists about the current state of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s ecological diversity.
Using the resources and expertise provided by TERN, scientists will be able to tackle some of the big issues for the nation's ecology, such as:
The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide hosts two of the eight key facilities for the TERN project:
One of the highlights of the symposium will be a keynote address by Dr Steve Morton, CSIRO Fellow and Chair of the Board of the Environment Institute.

TERN relies on hi-tech equipment in the field and sophisticated data collection and sharing to provide the best, most up-to-date information to environmental scientists about the current state of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s ecological diversity.Using the resources and expertise provided by TERN, scientists will be able to tackle some of the big issues for the nation's ecology, such as:
- How ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s ecosystems change over time;
- What is the current health of some of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s key ecosystems;
- How introduced plant and animal species affect native species;
- How the spatial distribution of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥n plant and animal species change, and how some become extinct.
The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide hosts two of the eight key facilities for the TERN project:
- Eco-informatics - a new, national web-based system of ecological knowledge and observations. This information is available for the benefit of researchers, planners and policy-makers right across ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥.
- Multi Scale Plot Network - a facility coordinating the collection and archiving of scientific measurements and observations. This is key to developing a detailed understanding of ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥'s biodiversity and how our ecosystem works
One of the highlights of the symposium will be a keynote address by Dr Steve Morton, CSIRO Fellow and Chair of the Board of the Environment Institute.
