TEACHING INTERESTS

Matt has extensive experience in staff and student supervision and research theses examination. He has supervised broad disciplinary range of Honours, Masters and PhD scholars to successful completion. These projects have been co-supervised from staff in the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture, the Tasmanian School of Business and Economics, the School of Engineering, University College and the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS). For example, Matt is currently working with the School of Engineering to examine the impacts of solar panels on farm ('agrivoltaics') on greenhouse gas emissions, including potential co-benefits or trade-offs for crop and animal production.

Matt has delivered many guest lectures to undergraduate students in Hobart, Burnie, Launceston, Canberra and online. These lectures have related to decision frameworks for improving agricultural sustainability (decision-support tools, such as WaterCan Profit www.watercanprofit.com.au), dual-purpose cropping, systems modelling (e.g. APSIM) and biological impacts of global climate change. Some of his team are responsible for developing undergraduate curricula in agricultural science, where they have integrated nascent research into teaching materials to ensure that curricula remain contemporary.

Matt welcomes enquiries of all kinds. Please send him an email if you are interested in undertaking coursework or a project (supervision, collaboration or other) relating to agricultural sustainability, carbon, greenhouse gas emissions, the climate crisis, climate change adaptation, food production and security, biodiversity or environmental stewardship.
