Keynote Speakers
Richard. J. (Dick) Haynes
The University of Queensland, St Lucia,
Queensland, Australia
Professor Haynes works in
the areas of soil and environmental science. His present
research interests are in the use and recycling of industrial,
agricultural and municipal wastes and minimising their effects
on the environment. He has extensive experience having worked as
both an applied research scientist and as a university professor
and has worked in New Zealand, South Africa and Australia. He
has published over 170 original research papers in international
journals, over 20 review papers in international volumes as well
as many conference and extension papers and contract reports. He
has been an invited keynote speaker at 7 international
conferences and has served on the editorial board of 4
international research journals. He has acted as principal
supervisor and co-supervisor of PhD, MSc and honours students in
both South Africa and Australia. Professor Haynes has carried
out research in commercial horticultural, pastoral, arable and
forestry production as well as in small-holder semi subsistence
agriculture. He has also worked on bioremediation of soils
contaminated with organic pollutants, rehabilitation of mined
sites, application of organic and inorganic wastes to soils and
the effects of heavy metal contaminants on soil processes. His
research has been mainly in the areas of applied soil chemistry
and soil microbiology/biology with links to soil physical
properties and to pollution of air and water. He has specialised
in working on applied problems and maintains strong links with
industry. Major areas of research have included the role of
grazing animals in the fertility of pastoral soils, N cycling
and gaseous and leaching losses from arable and pastoral
systems, soil quality and soil degradation under agricultural
land use, effects of soil contaminants on soil processes,
rehabilitation and remediation of contaminated, degraded and
mined sites and use of wastes as soil amendments.
