Susan Janse van Rensburg

Node Coordinator, Grasslands Forests Wetlands Node. MSc, Ecology, UCT Sue joined SAEON, drawn by the prospects of learning more about how our world is changing and what these changes mean for our environment and the people it supports. In laying the foundation for a robust mandate driven long term global change observation platform for the GFW node, she relishes her role in facilitating collaboration and soliciting inputs from scientists and stakeholders. Their inputs help to ensure that platform being developed not only extends long term data sets appropriately, but also addresses fundamental and rare parameter data needs to understand and reduce uncertainty. Nothing gives her more pleasure then sharing the joys of the science adventure with students and learners, in the field. She is generally first into the mud and always comes home dirtiest.
