RESEARCH & WRITING

I am researching and writing in many aspects of the broad Resource and Environmental Management field, with special interests being:

• heritage and conservation issues, in Australia and more generally, especially world heritage
• international treaties and other cooperative approaches to environmental problems, and Australia's involvement and response
• historocal geography of Sydney and NSW

I have recently completed a book titled 'Heritage: identification, Conservation and Management' published in 2002 by Oxford University Press and in Chinese translation in 2005. A second edition of my book 'Australians and their Environment: An Introduction to Environmental Studies' was also published by Oxford University Press in 2002.

A number of papers on heritage and environmental management have been completed or are under way, while a book on World Heritage is in its early stages.
