Scarp is a proud partner in the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage (CABAH) – an innovative, transdisciplinary research collaboration that will unlock the environmental and human history of Australia, Papua New Guinea and eastern Indonesia and help inform the management of Australia’s natural and cultural resources into the future .
CABAH will train future generations of world-class researchers to deal with emerging global challenges and inform policy in an interdisciplinary context, and our ground-breaking research discoveries will be taken into Australian school curricula and shared with the wider community through an exciting outreach program. CABAHs research, education and engagement programs are funded for seven years by a $33.75 million grant from the Australian Research Council, $1 million from the NSW Government, and $11 million from participating universities, museums and other organisations.
Scarp Archaeology is the only commercial archaeology company invited into CABAH. You can read about the role of Scarp in this exciting work here
