Greetings!
My name is Craig Clifton. I am a research scientist with the Department of
Natural Resources and Environment, located at Bendigo in Victoria, Australia. I
work at the Centre for Land Protection Research, the major Victorian government
research institute that deals with the sustainable dryland agriculture.
For those unfamiliar with Victoria, it is a small, but populus (for Australia) state
located in the south-east corner of Australia. We have over 120,000 ha of
agricultural and urban land affected by dryland salinity. The area affected is
expanding, with water tables across large areas of the state continuing to rise at
rates of 20-30 cm/y.
My interests in salinity are fairly broad, however my research focuses on
catchment management practices that minimise the risk of dryland salinity. In
particular I have carried out research into the water use of trees, pastures and
crops; considering how factors such as species selection, management and site
conditions influence plant water use and landscape water balance. Some of this
work has involved soil water balance modelling.
I also manage a small research group who are engaged in hydrogeological
investigations and monitoring related to dryland salinity.
Well that's about it. I look forward to the discussions via the SALINITY-L
disucssion group.
Craig Clifton
