Previously a theoretical (quantum) physicist, he made a ‘leap’ into environmental science, lecturing and researching in soil, water and atmospheric sciences; and also ‘education for sustainability’. He has co-authored over 70 papers and book chapters. These include his three science-based but reader-friendly papers ‘Ode to Planet Earth’, ‘Ode to H2O’ and ‘Ode to Soil’ (featured as Appendices in this book). These papers reverence the wonders of planet Earth and its resources. Graeme is also Guest Professor at BOKU University, Vienna, Austria.view less
