Welcome
Welcome to the website for the Centre for Freshwater Ecosystem
Management and Modelling at Massey University.
The Centre for Freshwater Ecosystem Management and Modelling was
established at Massey University to draw together research skills
where developments in theoretical ecology and ecological modelling
can be applied in new and novel ways to addressing current issues
in freshwater ecosystem management, conservation and bioassessment.
Objectives
- Conduct high quality research
on freshwater ecosystems.
- Apply heuristic and neural
network modelling to understanding how freshwater ecosystems function.
- Utilise that understanding
to address freshwater management decisions in new and novel ways.
- To raise the profile of freshwater
ecosystem modelling management to the broader community, and to
contribute to the discourse;
- To conduct research on all aspects
of freshwater ecosystems that engage the expertise and interest
of researchers from all science disciplines;
- To work with academics from
other disciplines and other tertiary institutions where appropriate;
- To produce research of the best
academic standards and aim for publication in 'A' grade journals;
- To produce publications for
the lay person - business, government, community - which help
to foster the discourse of sustainable management of freshwaters
in New Zealand;
