The Third National Cyanobacteria Workshop was held on 23-24 August 2012 in Canberra, ACT.
This National Cyanobacterial Workshop was hosted by CSIRO’s Water for a Health Country Flagship – Ecosystems and Contaminants Theme. Thanks to Dr Carol Couch, Ecosystems and Contaminants Theme Leader, for her generous support for this workshop.
Attending the workshop were people involved in the management of public health, water resources and water supplies, and core cyanobacterial research.
The workshop was organised by Dr Tim Malthus, Research Program Leader, Environmental Earth Observation, CSIRO Land & Water Together with the following individuals who participated on the organising committee, reviewed abstracts and provided valuable advice:
- Ms Janet Anstee – CSIRO
- Dr Nagur Cherukuru – CSIRO
- Dr Erin Hestir – CSIRO
