Dr Brodrick&#8217;s research is focused on developing new technologies and integrated digital systems for the agricultural industry to improve farm productivity. Her primary research area is using sensing technology (in-field, aerial and satellite) to develop solutions for crop management. The teams Dr Brodrick leads are working on projects to responding to challenges generated by drought, variable and changing climates, by developing and delivering new knowledge, technologies and system solutions tailored to assisting in on-farm decision making. <\/p>\n<p>Brodrick has 20 years of experience in working with irrigators (cotton, tomatoes, sugarcane, tree crops) to develop management solutions in irrigated agriculture. Her research into crop physiology and agronomy has led to changes in production practices within the Australian Cotton Industry, and she has strong collaborations with researcher overseas. Dr Brodrick leads the CSIRO&#8217;s WaterWise Project that brings together a multi-disciplinary team that are developing digital solutions for precision irrigation in high-value crops as part of the CSIRO&#8217;s Digiscape Future Science Platform. Ultimately the aim is for these systems to part of a fully integrated irrigation toolbox for growers delivering savings in water that can be used to boost productivity or increase cropping area.<\/p>\n\t<meta itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WebPage\" itemid=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/2020\/person\/paul-campling\/\" content=\"Paul Campling\" \/><meta itemprop=\"datePublished\" content=\"2020-10-09\" \/><meta itemprop=\"dateModified\" content=\"2020-10-22\" \/><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"G-STIC 2020\"\/><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/cropped-G-STIC-logo-blue-horizontal.png\"\/><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/2020\/author\/sonja\/\" \/><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"sonja\" \/><meta itemprop=\"interactionType\" content=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CommentAction\" \/><meta itemprop=\"userInteractionCount\" content=\"0\" \/><!DOCTYPE html>\n    \t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/PaulCampling.jpg-240x0-c-default.png\" alt=\"Paul  Campling\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\tMeet <br \/> Paul  Campling\n\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\t Paul  Campling\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVITO\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onclick=\"closeSide()\">&times;<\/a>\n        <br \/>\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/PaulCampling.jpg-240x0-c-default.png\" alt=\"Paul  Campling\"\/>\n     Paul  Campling\n\tVITO \n    \tBusiness Development manager &#8211; Water Management and Technology\n\n                        Water\n\n    \tMeet  Paul  Campling\n                    \t            \t                                                    \t                \t                <p>28\/10\/2020, 12:50 &#8211; 13:00<\/p>\n                <p> Presenting Vote of thanks during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/2020\/themes\/water\/#programme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Key learnings from water technological solutions<\/a> thematic session.<\/p>\n\tBiography\n    <p>Paul Campling is a hydrologist, specialised in the domain of land and water management and policy assessment. He is currently International Business Development Manager at VITO (the Flemish Institute for Technological Research) where he coordinates the acquisition and management of European environmental projects. Previously he worked as a Project Manager at the European Environment Agency (Copenhagen) coordinating the IRENA project to develop and report on agri-environmental indicators for the European Union. He also spent 5 years in Nigeria working on a research project concerned with water resources development, for which he completed his PhD. <\/p>\n<p>Paul Campling is an expert in European environmental policy. Over the last 25 years, he has managed a number of environmental projects addressing different environmental concerns for the European Space Agency (flood monitoring), DG Eurostat (landscape indicators), the Joint Research Centre (permanent grasslands, nitrogen balances), and DG ENV (cost benefit analysis of the Water Framework Directive, alternative water supplies, market-based instruments for reducing air pollution, soil organic matter &#8211; best practices and trade-offs). He is a coordinator of the Pavitra Ganga project in India that is demonstrating improved solutions for wastewater treatment, resource recovery (energy and materials) and smart water management (sensors and ICT). <\/p>\n\t<meta itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntityOfPage\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/WebPage\" itemid=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/2020\/person\/diane-darras\/\" content=\"Diane D'Arras\" \/><meta itemprop=\"datePublished\" content=\"2020-10-26\" \/><meta itemprop=\"dateModified\" content=\"2020-10-26\" \/><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"G-STIC 2020\"\/><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/02\/cropped-G-STIC-logo-blue-horizontal.png\"\/><meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/2020\/author\/katleenvandormael\/\" \/><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Katleen Vandormael\" \/><meta itemprop=\"interactionType\" content=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CommentAction\" \/><meta itemprop=\"userInteractionCount\" content=\"0\" \/><!DOCTYPE html>\n    \t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/Diane-d-Arras-240x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"Diane D'Arras\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t    \t\t\t\t Diane D&#8217;Arras\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIWA\n        <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" onclick=\"closeSide()\">&times;<\/a>\n        <br \/>\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gstic.org\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/10\/Diane-d-Arras-240x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"Diane D'Arras\"\/>\n     Diane D&#8217;Arras\n\tIWA \n    \tPresident\n\n                        Water\n  \t  \t        Plenary\n\n    \tMeet  Diane D&#8217;Arras\n                    \t            \t                                                    \t                                    <p>27\/10\/2020, 10:15 &#8211;
