Career Brief

Dr Conyers completed a B. Natural Resources at the University of New England . He completed a MScAgr at the University of Sydney on soil acidity before working as a field research officer for Southern Limestone Pty Ltd. Dr Conyers' PhD from La Trobe University, was also on soil chemistry.

When Dr Conyers joined NSW DPI (then NSW Agriculture) in 1985 his research focussed on the impact of acidic soils in the mixed farming zone of southern NSW, but has since branched into both traditional soil fertility (N, P, K) and into environmental issues (C, salinity, biodiversity).

Dr Conyers is responsible for the Soil Science Laboratories at Wagga Wagga, where work in soil chemistry and physics is undertaken.
