Extension and vocational
Between 1998 and 2001 training materials were developed for
weed, fire and grazing management, including course materials for
TAFE colleges. A major publication, Savanna Burning, was also produced, along with a video
on weed management on Aboriginal lands.
Education materials for people in the savannas
The TS–CRC's education and training program provides
education materials, as well as their delivery and transfer, to a
wide range of stakeholders.
The TS–CRC's education program is led by Dr Penny Wurm at
Charles Darwin University. The education program is closely aligned
to Theme 4, Human Capability Development which is co-led by Dr
Peter Jacklyn and Mr Joe Morrison of the Tropical Savannas CRC,
CDU.
The education program supported a wide array of postgraduate
research scholarships, which you can read about it in this section.
In 2006, the Tropical Savannas CRC failed in its third-round
proposal and the Centre will close in July 2008. Consequently, the
Centre is unable to support further postgraduate study.
The Centre also developed the Graduate Certificate, Diploma,
Master and Doctorate of Tropical Environmental Management. These
programs will continue. Read about them at left, or at www.cdu.edu.au/ehs/science/mtem/
The Postgraduate Program in Tropical Environmental
Management provides students with the opportunity to study,
develop, and gain skills in the sustainable management of tropical
ecosystems.
Julie Crough leads the Tropical Savannas Knowledge for Schools project, which
developed the EnviroNorth website. This
project provides curriculum support resources and materials that
enhance and improve the understanding of Australia’s
tropical savannas.
