ARC Centre of Excellence for Environmental Decisions (CEED) researchers have won a prestigious Thomson Reuters Citation Award for their significant contribution to climate research. CEED Director and ARC Laureate Fellow, Professor Hugh Possingham, Dr Eve McDonald-Madden from The University of Queensland, and Dr Tara Martin from CSIRO, have been recognised for their research into the effects of climate on habitat loss and conservation decisions. The research, for which the prize was awarded jointly, was conducted in collaboration with The University of Melbourne, the University of Saskatchewan, and CEED International Scientific Advisory Panel member Professor Antoine Guisan at the Université de Lausanne. Director of CEED, Professor Hugh Possingham said there is a lot of research being done about the likely impact of climate on plants, animals and habitats. "Our group is more interested in research that helps people make good decisions about how to respond to a changing climate.”
