Stephen Kimber
Steve Kimber is part of the Soils research team at Wollongbar. He joined NSW Agriculture* in 1997 as an Environmental Scientist (pesticides) and has undertaken research in reducing off-site movement of pesticides, enhanced pesticide degradation and contaminated site risk assessment. He has over 15 years scientific research experience in the degradation and movement of pesticides, and in analytical residue chemistry.
Steve runs a comprehensive green house gas analytical service, with clients both internal and outside the Department.
