ARC-CMSR
Curtin University invites you to attend the official launch of the ARC Centre for Mine Site Restoration (CMSR) on Friday 31 March 2017.
The CMSR, a joint research initiative of Curtin University and the University of Western Australia, is supported by the Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority, Sinosteel Midwest Corporation, BHP Billiton, Hanson Construction Materials, Karara Mining, Cliffs Natural Resources, Mineral Resources, and the Society for Ecological Restoration Australasia as industry partners.
Restoration sits at the heart of Australia’s ability to sustainably and responsibly exploit its mineral wealth. The CMSR is a major project connecting high-end science with on-ground practice in mining restoration. Together the group will deliver a vast suite of integrated and focused research projects that underpin successful mine site restoration outcomes.
Join centre Director Professor Kingsley Dixon and the CMSR team to find out more about this important research initiative.
