PhD
Student Projects
The objective of the SRFME PhD Scholarship
scheme was to deliver strategic research outcomes and capacity
building through postgraduate training as well as strengthening
and broadening the outcomes from SRFME Core projects. The PhD scholarship
projects also served to facilitate greater collaboration between
universities and scientists in CSIRO and State Government agencies.
A description of each project and
its results to date are given in Volume
1 of the SRFME Final Report [PDF 19.6 Mb] ,
or can be downloaded individually below.
