Innovations in COTS Control on the Great Barrier Reef (Old ID 26958)
Innovations in COTS Control on the Great Barrier Reef. For decades, crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) research effort has been fragmented and failed to inform improvements in the effectiveness of COTS control. However, under the NESP Tropical Water Quality Hub’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) research program, a more collaborative and targeted approach has harnessed research effort and enabled delivery of significant improvements in effectiveness and efficiency of COTS control, while also looking to develop methods for the future. Wholescale adoption of this IPM approach by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) and operators is already demonstrably saving live coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR).
Striking Gold - Determining the genetic drivers of gold coloration in barramundi (Old ID 26972)
Australian farmed barramundi exhibit “greying” in the flesh which reduces consumer attractiveness. The rare colour variant “golden skinned” barramundi do not exhibit this negative flesh attribute. This project will determine the underlying genetic basis of the golden skin phenotype & adopt experimental approaches to increases its occurrence.
Pathways for performance improvements of organic light emitting diodes (Old ID 27152)
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) represent the next generation technology for displays and lighting. Despite their rapid uptake, one of the factors limiting their application in lighting is the efficiency roll-off at high brightness. This project aims to work towards solutions for this problem using an innovative combination of simulation studies and experimental work. Expected outcomes include improved theoretical and experimental approaches leading to new design rules for OLEDs. This should provide significant benefits such as a pathway for development of improved efficient, high brightness OLEDs for applications in low energy consumption lighting and long-lasting, bright displays.
Road map to coastal restoration assessment (Old ID 27594)
Coastal wetlands are under threat from a range of past land use changes. Efforts to restore the value back into wetlands is underway in many places, and demonstrating the success of these efforts requires access to scientific data. This project examines through stakeholder participation the elements of a national road map to coastal and marine restoration. The project outcome will be a framework to implement a national road map for restoration that can be used by stakeholders in planning and completing restoration around Australia.
Wildlife in Virtual Reality - a New Way to Educate and Engage (Old ID 22306)
This project will harness rapidly evolving technologies to create an exciting new product for raising community awareness of conservation issues. Specifically, the project will use the latest computer wizardry to allow people (locals, visitors, students) to have the unique experience of getting up close and personal with a Lumholtz's tree-kangaroo through virtual reality.
Effects of global change on marine invertebrates QLD WRAP (Old ID 26704)
This research will continue to determine the effects of global change on marine invertebrates, including the effects of the recent global ocean heating events that caused major bleaching and coral mortality on the Great Barrier Reef.
Develop the ResPax (digital) Passbook (Old ID 27496)
To develop digital tools for collecting tourism data in the region to enable better decision-making through various data mining approaches.
Genetic audit of Cygnet Bay Pearls’ Akoya oyster broodstock (Old ID 27738)
This Project will examine genetic diversity in Cygnet Bay’s current Akoya oyster breeding populations, design mating pairs for a spawning followed by analysis of the genetic diversity in the offspring.
Population assessments and ecology of threatened Queensland plants. (Old ID 29008)
This project involves the assessment of population status, abundance, and ecology of 48 NCA/EPBC Vulnerable to Critically Endangered plant species. State of condition reports or population summaries will be generated for the species identified. We also propose to collect living material to investigate the feasibility for vegetative propagation. The data will be provided to DES for use in reviews of threat classification and development of management programs. The proposed project will generate key information on the status of 48 species of threatened plants and provide an important baseline for ongoing ecological research on these species.
Developing targeted, seamless weather/climate forecasting systems for critical early season harvest periods (Old ID 21105)
The overall achievement of this research will be the attainment of a new weather/climate forecast system/product targeted and specifically focussed for the Australian sugar industry needs - especially the important harvest periods and which will provide substantial and measurable improvement over currently available systems.
