Is satellite technology telling the truth? Perspectives from a coral reef. (Old ID 22464)
The aim of this project is to investigate fine scale yet synoptic variability in water surface temperature on a coral reef. As temperature plays a major in the health of coral ecosystems, understanding its spatial and temporal variability will aid predictions and monitoring of thermally driven impacts such as coral bleaching. Imagery obtained from an Unmanned Airborne System (UAS) will provide the critical link between in-situ observations and satellite data, allowing remote sensing to be used at scales appropriate to thermal and hydrodynamic drivers on the reef.
Electromagnetic Field (EMF) Radiation Study for ESCO Pacific (Old ID 22962)
To investigate the current Australian and International Guidelines and allowable EMF radiation limits to provide the regulatory context to ESCO Pacific for their planned solar farm as well as measure the current baseline EMF radiation levels around existing power lines, various locations on the site of intended solar farm as well as in-home EMF radiation measurements in selected surrounding residential properties to assess EMF emission compliance.
Intertidal and Subtidal Habitat Mapping and Conservation Values Assessment for Central Queensland State Waters (Old ID 23447)
The project will deliver the interim Queensland Intertidal and Subtidal Classification Scheme; seascape-scale habitat mapping from Baffle Creek to the Fitzroy River delta; and an Aquatic Conservation Assessment of the seascape-scale habitat units as a tool for management and planning.
Applying Artificial Intelligence to Business Management Advice (Old ID 24802)
Develop methods of analysing large volumes of accounting data to provide valuable insights for business owners and actionable advice that will help them improve their business practices. Mentoring fee for guidance provided to Graduate Student employed by Calxa Pty Ltd.
Vacuum solution with an IoT-integrated management system. (Old ID 26816)
Vacuum cleaners used in commercial cleaning services have been primarily dominated by corded and cumbersome vacuum cleaners. Although cordless and lightweight vacuum cleaners have been around for domestic users for some time, there ar eno cordless vacuum cleaners designed for commercial cleaning services in the market. In view of this fact, this project aims to develop a new cordless vacuum cleaner for commercial vacuum cleaning services with an IoT-integrated management system.
Survey for mahogany gliders and monitor population trends (Old ID 26997)
The Mahogany Glider is an Endangered mammal of north Queensland. I have been doing research of this species, with my PhD student Eryn Chang. The project is to better resolve the distribution and population size of this species and to work out whether it is declining. Terrain is an NRM group (funded by Qld and Federal government) that does community-based conservation work in the Wet Tropics of north Qld. They also want to know the distribution, population size and population trends in this species, so they are contributing funding to Eryn’s PhD project.
Climate Vulnerability Index - YBM (Old ID 27435)
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. 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 development. This project will apply the Climate Vulnerability Index process to initiate assessment of the vulnerability of the land and sea country of the Yuku Baja Muliku (YBM) people. There is an urgent need to assess climate vulnerability using community-based methodologies to inform actions taken by decision makers.
Russell River Sustainability Plan (Old ID 31149)
Runoff from catchments in northern Australia has the potential to carry large amounts of sediment and nutrients to the Great Barrier Reef. This project will build a overall catchment management plan for the Russell River catchment, in partnership with State Government, Jaragun Ecoservices, industry, community and indigenous partners. The plan will set out state, condition and opportunities for restoration and protection of the catchment, aligning with the Governments new policies and plans in this space.
Development and implementation of MathBench for Australian Universities to improve quantitative skills of science and mathematics students (Old ID 21655)
There is international agreement that quantitative skills (QS), the ability to apply mathematical and statistical thinking and reasoning within a given external context, are an essential graduate competence in science. Recent studies have shown a lack of availability of proven QS learning resources. MathBench, a suite of online modules that have been trialled, tested and adapted across several US universities, is a valuable QS learning resource for the US context. The project aim is to develop and implement MathBench as an Innovative online resource, for both desktop and mobile devices, to improve QS of science students at seven Australian universities.
Wetland Restoration Surveys Burdekin Catchment (Old ID 22221)
This project will complete freshwater wetland surveys throughout the Burdekin catchment to examine the success of wetland system repair. Field work will include fish, water quality, vegetation, habitat, and macroinvertebrate sampling. A component of this program will include community training, education and workshops. Data generated will be sued in the preparation of promotional material, reports and social media releases.
