Novel methods for crown-of-thorns starfish management to contain emerging outbreaks in the Lizard Island region
Peter Doll
15 Jan 2025 - 31 Mar 2026
Population irruptions of crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS) are a major cause of coral mortality on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), contributing to ongoing reef degradation. There is, therefore, a concerted effort to manage CoTS on the GBR, but established surveillance and culling activities are largely ineffective for dealing with relatively low densities of CoTS. This project will pioneer novel culling methods to contain emerging population outbreaks of CoTS in the Lizard Island region. This research will not only directly contribute to improved management of the GBR, but will be conducted alongside existing CoTS management programs to maximize application and uptake of proposed methods.
Improving land condition across Southern Gulf rangelands to build resilience to variable and extreme climate
Paul Nelson

Grant: https://www.business.qld.gov.au/running-business/environment/natural-resource-funding/apply#key-dates Project description: Recent extreme climatic events (e.g., the 2019 flood and preceding drought, and the 2023 flood) have had a devasting impact on the Southern Gulf’s grazing industry and local communities, as well as the health and functioning of the region’s sensitive natural assets, including soils, pastures, water, and biodiversity. The occurrence and severity of such extreme climatic events are predicted to increase into the future. The overarching aim of the project is to build resilience in Southern Gulf rangeland production systems to better manage climate variability and extreme climatic events, through improving land condition. Land that is maintained in good condition is less susceptible to severe impacts associated with extreme climatic events and recovers more quickly after events occur. To achieve improved land condition across the region, the project will work directly with X land managers to implement on-ground land management practice changes and/or remediation treatments, spanning an estimated area of X. The effectiveness of these interventions will be rigorously monitoring and evaluated, and the data made publicly available. Key learnings and outcomes will be passed on to the other landholders, NRM groups, Government extension staff and researchers through demonstration sites, field days, communications materials, scientific publications, and capacity building events. Overall, the project will provide much needed new knowledge, information, data, tools, and capacity to better manage and respond to climate variability and extreme climatic events across the Southern Gulf region, and other parts of northern Australia.
Electron scattering and transport for plasma-liquid interactions (Old ID 23301)
Ron White
08 Mar 2018 - 31 Jul 2022
The project addresses the emerging technologies associated with the interaction of plasmas with liquids and biological matter, including plasma medicine. The project expects to generate new knowledge on the role of electron-induced processes through the development of complete and accurate sets of microscopic cross- sections for electrons with biomolecules within tissue. This microscopic data will inform new microscopic models for non equilibrium electron transport in liquids and biological matter, and its coupling to plasmas. The expected outcomes of this project include progress towards the optimization of safety/efficacy of future generation plasma medicine devices through detailed understanding of plasma-biological tissue interactions.
