Automated Catch'n'Release Anchor Retrieval Device Reliability Test and Materials Research (Old ID 26292)
Eric Wang
02 Jan 2019 - 02 Jul 2019
The Catch'n'Release Anchor Retrieval Device provides the safest and most sustainable way to retrieve your anchor. Specifically designed for recreational vessels, the device is easy to attach and in just seconds the anchor is pulled up the same way it went down. The device is designed to be used every time you head out on the boat and serves to protect precious marine habitats by minimising damage while promoting a safet boating experience. However, to prove its reliability, the device will have to pass thousands of connect and disconnect test cylces, which is apparantly not viable via manual operation. Therefore, this project aims to develop a solution for automated Catch'n'Release Anchor Retrieval Device reliability test, which can perform the connect-disconnect process automatically thousands of times. On top of that, corrosion and braking tests will be also introduced between every 500 test cycles to simulate the practical usage cases of this device.
Jurassic Arc? Reconstructing the Lost World of Eastern Australia (Old ID 23299)
Carl Spandler
21 Mar 2018 - 31 Dec 2023
This project aims to resolve a long-standing enigma about the geological formation of the Great Artesian Basin – Australia’s most important onshore reservoir for groundwater and hydrocarbon resources. Specifically, the project will integrate sedimentological and geochemical studies to investigate the geodynamic configuration of Eastern Australia during the Jurassic Period of basin formation. The intended outcomes are an improved understanding of the evolution of the Australian continent and better knowledge of the formation of intercontinental sedimentary basins, which includes better assessment of their potential to contain hydrocarbon resources.
Building Capacity of Civil Society Organisation in Southeast Asia to Collaborate with Governments to Equitably and Sustainably Secure Fisheries and Support Maritime Security (Old ID 27586)
Amy Diedrich
01 Jul 2022 - 30 Jun 2024
The purpose of the project is to partner with selected Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Philippines and Indonesia in order to build capacity to implement Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) in coastal communities. More broadly this project will contribute to building the capacity for CSOs to engage with policy processes and partner with governments to strengthen maritime policies and local level implementation. This grant will cover phase one of the program for activities to be delivered over the first two years.
NESP 3.8 Carbon abatement & biodiversity enhancements through controlling feral ungulate disturbance in wetlands. (Old ID 28970)
Nathan Waltham
01 Jan 2023 - 20 Dec 2025
Ungulates (pigs, buffalo, cattle) damage the landscape in northern Australia. This impact is particularly evident in coastal wetlands, that provide a range of ecosystem services such as carbon abatement, biodiversity and water quality. Attempts to control ungulates have required expensive mitigation action, with mixed levels of success. In this project we examine the carbon and biodiversity services that controlling ungulates has in coastal areas. Importantly, this research contributes to the development of new methodologies to attract market investments from big businesses, such as blue carbon and biodiversity certificates.
ARC Research Hub for advanced breeding to transform prawn aquaculture (Old ID 21529)
Dean Jerry
01 Jan 2015 - 31 Dec 2020
Project Seadragon will establish the world's largest black tiger prawn farm, significantly boosting the Australian aquaculture sector. To operate with maximum efficiency and maintain international competitiveness, Project Seadragon will require transformative technologies in advanced animal breeding to produce high-yielding, genetically improved, farm strains. The ARC ITRH will coalesce world-leading animal geneticists, research and service providers, and Australia's largest prawn farm, and gather the genomic resources, commercial phenotypic data, and apply cutting-edge genetic and genomic selection methodologies, leading to the most advanced and industry transformative improvement program for any aquaculture species globally.
Endangered Frog Surveys Kuranda (Old ID 22494)
Conrad Hoskin
20 Jan 2016 - 30 Apr 2016
This project is to survey wildlife at a site in the Kuranda region, with particular focus on endangered frog species.
ITS and UCS Tests on Rock Cores (Old ID 23055)
Siva Sivakugan
01 Oct 2016 - 01 Dec 2016
The rock cores will be provided by Mt Carlton. They will be cut to length to diameter ratios of 2.5 and 0.5 for the uniaxial compressive strength test and indirect ensile strength tests, respectively. The UCS tests involved developing stress-strain plots and determining the uniaxial compressive strength and the Young's modulus. The indirect tensile strength requires the determination of the Is values. The client will be provided with a report that includes all results and photographs of the failure specimens.
Oil Identification Aging (Old ID 23478)
George Vamvounis
17 May 2017 - 16 Oct 2017
A colourimetric array will be used to investigate crude oil samples, with the focus on the effect of aging.
GBRF Burdekin Irrigation Project. (Old ID 27063)
Eric Wang
15 Jan 2020 - 01 Jun 2024
Increasing Industry Productivity and Profitability Through Transformational, Whole of Systems Sugarcane Approaches that Deliver Water Quality Benefits.
IUCN Situation Analysis – Asian Coastal Wetlands (Old ID 27372)
Nicholas Murray
11 Oct 2021 - 31 May 2022
The Yellow Sea ecosystem of intertidal wetlands, associated habitats and the biodiversity that depends on them, encompassed by People’s Republic of China (PRC), the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the Republic of Korea (RoK), is among the ecological wonders of the world. It represents the largest area of intertidal flats on the planet. In 2012, the IUCN Species Survival Commission commissioned an independent report “The IUCN situation analysis on East and Southeast Asian intertidal habitats” that I co-authored. The report was highly influential and led to improved conservation and world heritage listing of tidal flats in the region. Given the impact of the first report, IUCN now wishes the original consultancy team to conduct an update. Therefore, this project is a short contribution to a desktop review and interviews with relevant site managers, government officials, academics, NGO representatives, and other relevant stakeholders to gain a comprehensive understanding of the state of wetlands in the Yellow Sea region. As one of three authors, I will lead the technical analysis of the report.
