Introduction
The Reef and Rainforest Research Centre convened the annual
MTSRF Synthesis Conference over four days in Cairns, North
Queenskand, from 28 April to 1 May 2008.
Over 160 researchers, representatives of end user organisations
and interested community members listened to 66 presentations from
across the entire research spectrum of the MTSRF.
Of particular note was the attendance of key personnel from the
Parliamentary Standing Committee on Climate Change, who were
briefed on the major relevant MTSRF outcomes to date.
Two out-of-session meetings were held alongside the conference,
the establishment of a MTSRF environmental offset policy working
group, and a workshop designed to bring together end users and
developers of the Risk,
Resilience and Response Atlas.
This proceedings contains a selection of conference
presentations featured as short papers. Many presentations are also
available for download in .pdf format from the relevant project
pages on the MTSRF website. All abstracts and the complete delegate
list are also presented.
