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.

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.
The effect of light intensity on leaf pigmentation and light utilisation in mango (Old ID 27722)
Alex Cheesman
01 Aug 2022 - 31 Dec 2022
The objective of this experimental work is to determine the effect of light intensity on leaf morphology, productivity and light utilisation in the commercial Mango cv. Calypso. Plant leaves contain a variety of pigments associated with specific physiological functions, including photosynthesis and photoprotection from excessive light. Within an individual tree-canopy, gradients in leaf age and microenvironment alter the balance of these functions and where resources are invested. By examining leaf-level function at specific points in a Mango tree architecture we hope to improve our understanding of how orchard management (such as pruning) can make trees more productive
Viral load in APF prawn stocks (Old ID 23597)
Dean Jerry
07 Aug 2017 - 06 Aug 2018
This project will test viral load in new broodstock brought into Aussie Prawn Farms so they can identify broodstock to not spawn from and to know what viruses are coming on farm.
Connectivity in pinnacle reef fishes (Old ID 26726)
Benjamin Cresswell
01 Jan 2020 - 31 Mar 2023
My project focuses on distributions and movements of predator fish species across a range of coastal habitats in Kimbe Bay, PNG and how these might interact with a variety of environmental drivers including anthropogenic stressors. Specifically, I am investigating communities of predator fishes inhabiting a group of pinnacle reefs in the bay and how these unique structures may support abundant and diverse assemblages, potentially conferring resilience to regional fish populations in the face of climate change, overfishing and near-shore habitat degradation. My project aims to include how these distinct habitats can be incorporated into management plans for regional fisheries.
Taxonomic assessment of corals in the Australian Indian Ocean Territory (Old ID 28958)
Tom Bridge
08 Mar 2023 - 30 May 2024
Document the species richness of the coral fauna of Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) islands (Australian Indian Ocean Territory), with a focus on identifying new species, species endemic to the region or vulnerable to threats due to low abundance or limited distributions.
Genetic audit of Harvest Road’s Akoya oyster (Pinctada fucata) broodstock and phenotypic assessment of existing cohorts relevant to the requirements of a selection program (Old ID 29001)
Dave Jones
29 May 2023 - 28 May 2024
Harvest Road Oceans Pty Ltd wants to undertake a genetic audit of potential broodstock for use in a future selective breeding program for Akoya pearl oysters focusing primarily on oyster growth, shell depth and meat yield. Before such a program commences, it is vital to establish that the genetic diversity represented in the current broodstock population is sufficient to ensure long-term exploitation of genetic potential over subsequent generations of breeding. Therefore, this project aims to generate the preliminary data needed to undertake a genetic audit, estimate relatedness between animals from the current farm cohorts, generate genetic parameters and make recommendations on appropriate breeding scenarios for Harvest Road Oceans Pty Ltd.
Joint Huawei-JCU Internet of Things Laboratory (Old ID 23113)
Wei Xiang
19 Dec 2016 - 31 Dec 2021
To enable the collaboration on opportunities that include: a) establishing a joint Huawei-JCU Internet of Things (loT) Laboratory: b) use the joint loT Lab to promote strong academic-industry collaboration; leveraging on Australia's first loT Engineering degree program run by JCU etc.
