In 1967 he was awarded an Australian Meat Research Scholarship for PhD studies on aspects of cattle tick ecology in Australia. On completing his studies Sutherst joined CSIRO where he spent the rest of his career. He first led the cattle tick ecology project at the CSIRO Long Pocket laboratories during a pesticide resistance crisis. In the 1980s his focus moved to buffalo flies, although funding was withdrawn before meaningful analysis of the data collected could be done. Sutherst developed CLIMEX and DYMEX, ecological modelling tools for assessing biosecurity and climate change risks posed by a wide range of pests and weeds in particular. Both were commercially released and are used world-wide. In his research Sutherst collaborated widely in the fields of biological control, quarantine and biosecurity. He was a member of the N.S.W. Cattle Tick Advisory Committee for many years, and for six years was consultant to the FAO-DANida Africa Regional tick and tick-borne disease program. 1966 1966 Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc(Hons)), Edinburgh University 1970 1970 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Queensland 1982 1982 Award - Bancroft-Mackerras Medal for Excelence, Australian Society for Parasitology 1983 1983 Career position - President, Entomological Society of Queensland 1986 1986 Award - Ian Mackerras Medal, Australian Entomological Society 2006 2006 Life event - Retired 2006 2013 Career position - Hon.
