To be developed OBSERVATION CHAMPIONS REMOTE SENSING CHAMPIONS MODELLING CHAMPIONS
Super sites - CSIRO/BOM Dustwatch nodes - NSW DECC Roadside observation - NSW/SAG Soil loss plots – QDNR
Fractional cover - GA Dust Sentinel - CSIRO LIDAR - GA Eroded land imaging - CSIRO CMIS
CEMSYS - USQ SedNET - CSIRO L&W AussiGRASS - QDPI
– Local progress – National soil condition and change (pH = MDB ?)
– Clear long term goals – National leadership and organisation – Time and (some) dollars
