Revisiting Coral Taxonomy: biodiversity of Acropora across the Indian Ocean
Peter Cowman
01 May 2025 - 31 May 2025
Accurate species identification is crucial for biological and ecological research. Corals, key ecosystem engineers on tropical reefs, are declining due to climate change. However, current coral taxonomy is outdated, hindering our understanding of species-specific population trends and reef ecosystem impacts. This project focuses on the species richness and biogeography of Acropora corals in the Indian Ocean. Partnering with Save Our Seas Foundation, I will collect data from D'Arros island in the Seychelles, comparing it with existing data. Using phylogenomics and morphology, I aim to refine coral taxonomy, inform conservation efforts, and identify species at risk of extinction.

Portable Sensors for Phosphate Detection in Cattle Samples
Yang Liu
10 Mar 2025 - 10 Mar 2029
Addressing phosphorus deficiency in cattle through accurate monitoring can enhance farm productivity and animal welfare. This project aims to develop a portable electrochemical sensing platform for phosphate detection, offering farmers a practical solution to manage phosphorus levels and improve cattle health.
CVI Gondwana
Jon Day
02 Dec 2024 - 31 Dec 2026
Climate change poses an existential threat to global heritage. With rising sea-levels, more extreme weather events and aridification, the extensive impacts of climate are evident at heritage sites globally and the pace of this change is startling. In most parts of the world the rate of loss is exceeding adaptive capacity and this deficit is only getting worse. This includes in Queensland, for which climate change is becoming more and more of an issue, requiring more knowledge and skills to help address the management options. Decisions on conservation and preservation begin with a detailed understanding of a place's vulnerability. The choices made will directly impact that ability to effectively integrate the goals of safeguarding heritage, adapting and mitigating climate change, and driving sustainable activities. This project will apply the Climate Vulnerability Index process to assess the vulnerability of the Queensland component of the Gondwana Rainforests World Heritage property.
