SYSTEM SCIENTIST/ANALYST
Ref No: PG01/04
$46K - $59K + allowances and superannuation
We seek a scientist who will be part of a team employed to develop and apply
a modelling system to simulate small-holder farming in semi-arid parts of
Indonesia. The team will develop a systems modelling framework for
evaluating alternative forages, crops, and cropping systems (including
agroforestry) to improve livestock production and provide for sustainable
land use. The scientist will be primarily responsible for developing an
animal production module, which will include locating and analysing data on
forage quantity and quality, animal growth, and reproduction. The scientist
will oversee data collection on forages and animal production in Sumbawa.
The systems scientist will work closely with team members using APSIM for
simulating plant growth and soil processes, and with an economist to conduct
economic assessments. The position will be based in Townsville, Queensland,
Australia and will require travel in Australia and Indonesia.
Requirements include an advanced degree in an appropriate field, experience
in systems modelling and analysis, and ability to write technical reports.
Knowledge of agricultural systems, ecosystem science, and GIS is desirable.
This position is available from July 2001 through December 2003.

Subject: Growth curve fit
Hi all!
I am trying to fit age-length (body & skull) data of common dolphins, and I
would like to know if someone have experienced some friendly software to
fit this kind of data with Gompertz' or VonBertalanffy growth models.
All suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!

<Per.Sjogren-Gulve@ENVIRON.SE>
Subject: New book about Population Viability Analyses
The Use of Population Viability Analyses in Conservation Planning -
a new PVA volume edited by Per Sjogren-Gulve & Torbjorn Ebenhard (2000):
Risk assessment and population viability analyses (PVAs) have become central
tools in endangered species management. Risk-based approaches and modeling
of scenarios using computer programs are also becoming increasingly common
in several fields of environmental science and strategic planning.
This volume addresses the use of predictive models in conservation planning
in a wider perspective than PVAs of endangered species, and is intended for
conservation biologists, managers, students and agency personnel. Combining
reviews and case studies, it complements contemporary volumes by giving a
broader overview of applications ranging from simple occupancy models to
individual-based demographic models.
Visit the website http://www.oikos.ekol.lu.se/EB48contents.html where you
can see the book, its preface, contents and abstracts of the included
papers. You can also order it there.

Subject: 6th Biennial Conference on the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem
Here is an announcement for a conference to be held at Yellowstone
National Park:
October 8-10, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
The Sixth Biennial Scientific Conference on the Greater Yellowstone
Ecosystem, Yellowstone Lake: Hotbed of Chaos or Reservoir of
Resilience, will be held at the Mammoth Hotel in Yellowstone National
Park. This conference will focus on a central feature of the Greater
Yellowstone Ecosystem's landscape, Yellowstone Lake, where submerged
hot springs and spires emerge atop the Yellowstone caldera and rare
plants and evidence of prehistoric peoples erode at the mercy of wind,
waves, and modern footsteps. The conference is interdisciplinary in
nature, including hydrology, geology, wildlife management, botany,
archeology, recreational use, economics, and other disciplines.
Individuals interested in presenting a paper at the conference should
submit an abstract by March 30, 2001. For more information on the
conference, or to submit an abstract, visit
www.nps.gov/yell/technical/conference.htm, email
Michelle_Le_Beau@nps.gov, or call 307-344-2239.
Thanks,
Kevin Schneider
