                                        Coal Seam Gas ... The future or a threat? Photo: Glen HuntSixty young high-flying Australian scientists are being asked to find new ways to help policy makers save some of the nation's most vulnerable ecosystems.

The group will tackle some of the most divisive and politically charged environmental issues in the country, including coal seam gas drilling in Queensland and water allocation in the Murray-Darling Basin.

Flanked by senior researchers, the university and government scientists – from ecologists and economists to social scientists and mathematicians - will gather for a two-day think-tank in Brisbane next week.
