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 provided
education materials, as well as their delivery and transfer, to a
wide range of stakeholders.
The program was led by Dr Penny Wurm at Charles Darwin
University.
The education program supported a wide array of postgraduate
research scholarships, which you can read about it in this
section.
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 led the Tropical Savannas Knowledge for Schools project, which
developed the EnviroNorth website. This
website provides curriculum support resources and materials that
enhance and improve the understanding of Australia’s
tropical savannas.
