The three sections in the thesis represent different periods of my work. Section 1, Assessment of pulpwood quality, represents my research work at the CSIRO Division of Chemical and Wood Technology as Co-ordinator of the Pulping and Pulpwood Resources Program (1971-86).
The paper physics work at the CSIRO Division of Forest Products (1962-70) is collated in Section 2, Studies on pulp and paper.
The papers in Section 3, Studies on wood from plantation grown conifers, represent my research at the Queensland Forest Service (1955-62). (Prior to joining QFS, I was with the NSW Forestry Commission.)
I presented the following papers at the Annual General Conferences of Appita (Technical Association of the Australian and New Zealand Pulp and Paper Industry):- A2, Al, A1O, All, A13, A16, A17, A23, A21, A25, B1 and B9.*
