CSA Welcomes Apogee President Dr. Bruce Bugbee

Bruce Bugbee at Campbell Scientific Australia

This week we were very fortunate to have Dr. Bruce Bugbee, President and founder of Apogee Instruments visit us here in Townsville. A frequent visitor to Australia, Bruce is here to speak at the Australasian Controlled Environment Working Group (ACEWG) at Charles Sturt University in Wagga. Apart from his work at Apogee, Bruce is also Professor of Plants, Soils and Biometeorology at the Utah State University. This year he was awarded the Governor’s Science and Technology Medal for his accomplishments over a lifetime and in the short time he was here with us, it became clear why he is held in such esteem.

Campbell Scientific and Apogee Instruments have a close affiliation. Apart from being neighbours in Logan Utah, both companies have an over-arching mission to improve the process of measurement - pure and simple. We were delighted to be reminded by Bruce of our shared passion for the scientific process and the significance and potential impact of better measurements on the big issues of the day - most notably limited water resource, food production and creating a sustainable future.

We look forward to a continuing close relationship with Apogee Instruments and the refinement and development of measurement tools and technologies to address real-world problems.
