Body

Research to underpin the green-field development of northern Australia requires the integration of science from a wide range of disciplines. Data and information on natural resources for most areas of northern Australia is at insufficient resolution to support green-field agricultural development. Socio-economic information is similarly depauperate, particularly at the scales with which development is likely to occur and in relation to the specific types of development that might be locally possible. . . . .
