Professor Gardner and Winthrop Professor David Pannell (ARC Federation Fellow), School of Agricultural and Resource Economics, are two of the Chief Investigators in Program 5: Integrating Socioeconomics, Policy and Decision Support, which is being led by Professor Tony Jakeman of the Australian National University.
