Palm Creen Greening Australia wetlands (Old ID 26406)
Nathan Waltham
01 Nov 2018 - 31 Aug 2019
Coastal wetlands are part of the broader Great Barrier Reef seascape and hold incredible environmental, cultural and economic value. This project will collect water quality and fish data to establish baseline conditions in Palm Creek, prior to coastal restoration works planned by industry partners. The outcomes of this survey and report will be presented to local community and will inform restoration decisions.
Strengthening the JCU-CSIRO Partnership with respect to emerging infectious diseases and biosecurity (Old ID 27710)
Paul Horwood
01 Jul 2022 - 31 Dec 2025
These funds will be used to strengthen the partnership between JCU and CSIRO to expand our collaborations on biosecurity in Northern Australia.
Bioacoustics of Asian black-spined toad (Old ID 27734)
Lin Schwarzkopf
01 Jul 2022 - 31 Aug 2023
This Project will extend the research of the original project by increasing the number of ABST calls recorded and improving understanding of the breeding and calling behaviour of ABST and improving surveillance (trapping and camera trapping approaches) for ABST. This Project will also facilitate provision of advice to overseas collaborators in undertaking studies of ABST under the first contract mentioned above. Additional complementary data collection and/or research areas may be undertaken by mutual agreement between the Department and the Collaborator.
Effective PPE waste processing using microwave pyrolysis (Old ID 28926)
Mohan Jacob
01 Jul 2022 - 30 Jun 2023
This project aims to investigate the feasibility of processing the PPE waste materials using a Microwave Assisted Waste processing technology developed at James Cook University. The specific objectives of the project are: i. Identify the processing conditions (e.g. Microwave power, time) suitable to kill pathogens in the waste material ii. Investigate the presence of pathogens in the residual material or by-products iii. Understand the physical and chemical properties of the by-products to identify potential applications
Validation of Greenhouse Gas Reduction Methods in Banana and Mango Tree Crops Across Tropical Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia (Old ID 21116)
Paul Nelson
01 Jul 2013 - 30 Apr 2017
Banana and mango are the most intensive horticultural crops in tropical Australia. Conventional management practices have depleted soil organic C and produced high N20 emissions. This project will trial soil management innovations in Qld precision agriculture and new forms of N fertiliser.
Whitsunday Regional Council - Mitigation and Loss Reduction. (Old ID 27085)
David Henderson
01 Oct 2020 - 30 Jun 2021
Develop and implement a resilience rating framework for small businesses. This initial phase will identify and scope aspects of the program and sufficient detail of the Rating Framework to enable the feasibility of the concept to be determined. Some elements will be estimates which will require deeper research and quantification in subsequent stages. • Review of background research and peril-specific risk attributes – leveraging existing work plus a limited desktop study of latest research to inform the methodology and framework (minimise task input to meet timeframe). • Design rating framework and quantify elements sufficient to inform the business case.
The Mua Island Garden Project: Reconstructing plant management practices in Western Torres Strait (Old ID 27527)
Cassandra Rowe
23 Mar 2022 - 31 Dec 2022
Food security in the face of climate change is a challenge for remote Indigenous communities in Australia, especially for Torres Strait Islander communities. Key to meeting this challenge is developing environmentally/culturally sustainable horticultural initiatives that build on traditional gardening practices adapted to hilly granite terrains of western Torres Strait. The Project thus brings together archaeological and palaeoenvironmental evidence with existing horticultural understandings of the Mualgal community to: 1. Understand how a western Torres Strait community developed and crafted their horticultural world over hundreds and perhaps thousands of years to accommodate the demands of wet and dry season climate extremes and hilly terrain; and, 2. Develop data and research into plant management in ways that are responsive to the contemporary aspirations and resources of a local Torres Strait Islander community.
The Wandering Falklands: Insights from New Geologic and Fossil Discoveries (Old ID 27745)
Eric Roberts
01 Jun 2022 - 30 Mar 2023
This project seeks to shed new light on the enduring geological mystery of where and how the Falkland Islands fit back into the plate-tectonic jig-saw puzzle of ancient Gondwana, while at same time unravelling new information about the evolutionary origins of early jawed fish from the southern hemisphere, whose humble beginnings may be linked to islands. To achieve this, we propose to spend two weeks collecting new Devonian fish fossils and searching for the presence of elusive (unmapped) volcanic rocks along the wave-cut beaches and platforms of Pebble Island and northern end of West Falkland.
Eliminate factors inhibiting redclaw farming from reaching its full potential (Old ID 21754)
Clive Jones
01 Jul 2014 - 31 Dec 2018
The NQCFA have successfully established hatchery technology that enables routine production of third stage juveniles (craylings) for stocking to grow out ponds. Survival of craylings to harvest (9-12 months) is approximately 50%. NQCFA have sought assistance of JCU to address this issue and guide a series of experiments to answer key questions. The research aims to identify causes of mortality, determine when it occurs, and to develop strategies to minimise it.
Performance tests of acid mist suppressants (Old ID 22793)
Yinghe He
01 Jul 2016 - 30 Sep 2016
This project will test the effect of two (2) chemicals (acid mist suppressants) supplied by Huntsman Corporation on the morphology of the cathode during an electro-winning process.
