Charles Jubb Prize for Environmental Research Established

The family of Charles Jubb recently established a prize in his memory...

7 August 2008

The inaugural Charles D. Jubb Prize for Environmental Resesarch is to be awarded at the end of 2008, following the establishment of an endowment fund in his memory by his sister and brother-in-law.

Charles David Jubb, who passed away in 2007, graduated from ANU with five degrees during the period 1980-1991, in a diverse range of subjects spanning science, economics and law. More recently, he applied his multidisciplinary approach to a range of complex environmental and legal issues, including the analysis of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. His roles as Principal Research Economist at the Australian Bureau of Industry Economics and Managing Director of Burnbank Consulting Pty. Ltd. were among a number of positions he held which encompassed the wide range of subjects he had studied during his time at ANU.

Charles had a passionate belief in the value of education and his achievements as a student and scholar were all the more inspiring given his inauspicious upbringing in a small town in Tasmania.

The Charles D Jubb Prize is to be awarded for academic achievement at undergraduate, honours, masters or postgraduate level by the Fenner School of the Environoment and Society within the ANU College of Science. The School is a new academic unit of ANU, formed in 2007, with the aim of building a world-class nationally distinctive unit for transdiciplinary research and education on complex environment-society systems.
