<h3>P﻿lus</h3>Natasha Heenan, School of Social and Political Sciences, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. ‘The Political Economy of Climate Engineering in Australia’ focused on the socioecological and political economic implications of Australia as a test site for novel technological interventions in the climate. Abner Yalu, School of Project Management, Faculty of Engineering ‘Community network structures and adoption of sustainable farming practices among cocoa farmers in Indonesia’. Since farming practice is learnt from peer-to-peer social influence this study investigates the relationship between endogenic and exogenic social influence and whole network village structural topologies. Vivienne Reiner, Faculty of Science ‘Climate-fuelled natural disasters in the Asia-Pacific - the world&#x27;s most disaster-prone region’. Consistent costings of natural disasters globally do not exist and costs cited are often confined to insurance losses or direct damages, but as recent experience shows it is important to include the entire supply chain when assessing costs to society and in order to budget for future disasters.Interested to present a poster of your research?
