I am interested in the causes and consequences of population change for the Northern Territory of Australia and northern regions more broadly. My aim is to conduct applied quantitative and qualitative research to understand the impacts from policy, economic and structural changes for communities. Prior to academia, I worked for a decade with the Australian Bureau of Statistics. I currently teach the masters level subject Topics in Human Geography at Charles Darwin University's Northern Institute.

Di negara-negara kaya, tren ini sedang berlangsung. Populasi penduduk Jepang menurun tajam, dengan angka kehilangan penduduk bersih atau net loss (setelah dikurangi angka kelahiran) sebesar 100 jiwa setiap jam. Di Eropa, Amerika, dan Asia Timur, angka kelahiran menurun drastis. Tren serupa juga berpeluang terjadi di banyak negara berpendapatan menengah bahkan rendah.
Perubahan ini sungguh luar biasa. Sepuluh tahun silam, para ahli demografi memerkirakan jumlah penduduk global dapat menyentuh 12,3 miliar jiwa, naik pesat dari 8 miliar tahun ini.
In wealthier countries, it’s already happening. Japan’s population is falling sharply, with a net loss of 100 people every hour. In Europe, America and East Asia, fertility rates have fallen sharply. Many middle or lower income countries are about to drop too.
This is an extraordinary change. It was only ten years ago demographers were forecasting our numbers could reach as high as 12.3 billion, up from around 8 billion today.

Queensland. Alaska in the United States has a population density of 0.42 persons per square kilometre, by far the lowest density of all States and comparing to 31 persons per square kilometre for the country as a whole. The northern European situation is more politically complex. The Nordic Council of Ministers has identified the "Northern Sparsely Populated Areas‟ which includes parts of Norway, Sweden and Finland, along with the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Iceland. --
Australia, Canada, the United States and Europe's Northern Sparsely Populated Areas face substantial challenges in including their furthest jurisdictions in the processes of post- industrialisation and the development of knowledge economies. It is now widely accepted that such processes are human ones – innovation diffusion relies on the interactions between people and the
organisations they construct. People provide the core inputs for networks and clusters. People are the entrepreneurs in economic systems. The collections of people as producers, intermediaries and markets constitute the critical mass which drives innovation. People are not just qualitative competitive variables; they also feature as inputs to quantitative variables such as economic structure and productivity. The role of people is not limited to economics and neither should economics be seen as the sole justification for the existence of remote populations. People sustain social, political and cultural capital - forces for social development, creativity and cultural enrichment which do not necessarily have to have immediate economic returns.
In the past, many remote settlements were important bases for opening up vast areas for resource extraction, working as strategic centres and as national representations of the conquering of frontiers. With increased contemporary interest from governments, policy makers, multinational companies and other stakeholders, this book explores the importance of understanding relationships between settlement populations and the economy at the local level. It features international and expert contributors who present insightful case studies on the role of human geography - primarily population issues - in shaping the past, present and future of settlements in remote areas. They also provide analysis of opportunities and challenges for northern settlements and the effects of climate change, resource futures and tourism. A chapter on the issues of populating future space settlements highlights that many issues for settlement change and functions in isolated and remote spatial realms are universal.
This book will appeal to those interested in the past, present and future importance of settlements 'at the edge' of developed nations as well as to those working in policy and programme contexts. College students enrolled in courses such as demography, population studies, human studies, regional development, social policy and/or economics will find value in this book as well.
