CSIRO’s Dr Bronwyn Harch recently received Queensland’s Outstanding Woman in Technology 2010 Award in recognition of her outstanding achievements in embedding informatics into agri-environmental research.

Professor Philip Chatwin passed away on 10 September 2010. He made seminal contributions to research into environmental fluid mechanics. He was particularly keen on fostering closer collaboration between applied mathematicians and statisticians, and played an active role in TIES from its inception. He was a regular participant at TIES Conferences from the first one in Cairo in 1989, and was Co-Chair of TIES 2000 in Sheffield. He served as an Associate Editor of Environmetrics from 1991, and a Deputy Editor 1997-2003, as well as having a number of his own papers appear in the journal.
