UTS Science
Centre of Expertise for Environment (COEE)
Science, technology and services for the management of natural resources
Worldwide, natural resources are being found to feed, clothe, house and fuel activity for 6.5 billion humans every day. Sustainability requires that management practices must keep the environment healthy enough to sustain this level of use. How we do this will be the focal agenda for environmental research and conservation in the decades to come.
UTS Science has unique research, training and technology development capability to understand the processes that maintain environmental health. Understanding that is essential for a balance in the use, protection and restoration of our natural resources.
The Centre of Expertise for Environment (CEE) helps to support UTS Science environmental researchers and promotes their research output and skills to practitioners locally and overseas.
CEE will make it easy to access the science and technology you need for the management of your natural resources.
Director: A. Prof Mark Dangerfield

Center of Ecotoxicology (CET)
CET is a joint venture of the University of Technology, Sydney and the Environment Protection Authority of New South Wales, which has been working in this new and fast-growing area for over a decade. Its laboratory facilities are located within the Faculty of Science of UTS.
The CET is recognised by both Australian Federal and State Governments as a leader in research, specialist consultancy, professional education and training in both aquatic and terrestrial ecotoxicology and associated environmental management. The Centre receives support for its work from a wide range of organisations in industry, commerce and government.

 Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF)
ISF was established by the University of Technology, Sydney in 1996 to work with industry, government and the community to develop sustainable futures through project based research. We design client-centred solutions that consider the economic, environmental and social dimensions of sustainability.
The mission of the Institute is to create change towards sustainable futures.

 Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS)
SHIMS is a research facility based on Sydney Harbour's North Shore at Chowder Bay. It will bring together teams of leading scientists to work on issues that are critical for the management of our coastal and oceanic environments.
SHIMS is a partnership between Macquarie University, the University of New South Wales, the University of Sydney and the University of Technology, Sydney. UTS SHIMS research is led by Prof. David Booth and Assoc. Prof. Peter Ralph.

 University of Edinburgh, UK
The University of Edinburgh, UK, is host to Dr Mathew Williams and his extraordinary Soil-Plant-Atmosphere model. The SPA model is one of many soil-vegetation atmosphere transfer models, but is considered by many to be the best available. The Ecohydrology Team of IWERM, led by Professor Eamus, has been awarded a Discovery ARC project to allow us to parameterise the SPA model for Australian wooded landscapes. This will enhance our capacity to model water use of these landscapes, thereby allowing us to manage water and vegetation more effectively to achieve optimal water resource management.
