Walter Jeyne.
Qualified microbiologist and ecologist with an interest in Earth systems science.
He's a member of the Sustainability Science Team. Soil microbiologists with extensive research and practical experience in forest ecology, tropical agriculture and the restoration of degraded soils and bio-systems in CSIRO, academia, industry and a range of community and farmer groups.
Extensively experienced in Government managing innovation, R&D and technology transfer strategies and programs including in re-designing and catalyzing change to achieve more sustainable industrial ecologies for different sectors.
Now retired and am involved with a range of not for profit agencies such as Healthy Soils Australia, a network of leading innovators and farmers focused on restoring the resilience and bio-productivity of the Australian landscape in the face of past degradation and stresses from climate changes and the decline in oil based inputs. Much of this work focuses on regenerating and managing the unique microbial ecologies and processes that governed the evolution and bio-productivity of the Australian landscape. This includes the restoration of microbial processes to enhance the bio-sequestration of carbon into stable biomass and soil carbon sinks in order to restore critical soil hydrology and help safely draw down past emissions so as to secure our safe climate. Of particular research interest to Walter has been the microbial ecology of cloud and rainfall formation and how this has been altered but can also be managed through vegetation to help mitigate climate change via cloud and hydrological cooling to offset lock in greenhouse warming effects and to help address pending serious water, food and bio-system stresses.
