How ACEAS helps TERN meet commonwealth objectives
TERN (from the investment guidelines 2008)
…is designed to enable researchers to…undertake analysis and construct models that…contribute to the development of a dynamic and holistic understanding of Australian ecosystems at both large…and small scales...
…is required to provide a platform for researchers to address key challenges and priorities to ensure Australia’s environmental sustainability.
…should be widely accessible for use by researchers on the basis of merit
…will encourage collaboration within the research community and with research users across all levels of government, regional natural resource management (NRM) bodies and the general public.
…to provide a collaborative environment and infrastructure for modeling ecological systems at a range of scales including management scenarios and cost benefit analysis including ‘what-if’ question and answer tools for the examination of long-term ecological research and management
