The Scientific Advisory Panel supports Arid Recovery by giving strategic and technical advice on research, conservation and ecological management.

Panel members are appointed for their expertise and cover a diversity of backgrounds and experience. They provide independent and expert technical advice for Arid Recovery's science programs. This includes development of the Research Plan and assessment of research applications. Adelaide University’s representative Director on the Board chairs the Scientific Advisory Panel.
