Description

Decoding airborne volatiles in environmental smoke that taint wine. Smoke-taint in grapes is recognised as the most important agricultural production risk to national, and international, winemakers. This project aims to minimise risk to the wine sector by focussing not on grapes, but on the smoke itself. This Fellowship seeks to generate new data and capability to detect and measure volatiles in smoke at the time of exposure, to inform evidence-based strategies for assessing real-time smoke-taint risk to support Partner service offerings and industry decision-making. Further, it expects to co-develop commercial vineyard sensors through Partner collaborations, while also providing new information to enhance smoke forecasting by Partners, and burn management strategies to benefit grape-growers.. Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 3008 - Horticultural Production. Lead: Dr Tangerine Parker
