ABOUT THE BLOG
The RMAP Blog is the news portal of the Resource Management in the Asia-Pacific Program at the Australian National University.
The Blog has been initiated to stimulate the academic debate on topical and controversial issues related to environmental and resource management through anecdotes, analysis and discussion forums. Readers are encouraged to participate in blog discussions by making comments to the posts.
The RMAP Blog contains the latest news from the program including information on forthcoming seminars, book releases, published articles, new grant fundings and awards to staff and students.
The RMAP Blog is maintained by the RMAP Webmistress and the RMAP Publications Manager. Any query should be directed to the RMAP Program Coordination.
News from previous years can be found in the archived monthly RMAP bulletins.
