Dating the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet using next generation sequencing of marine invertebrates (Old ID 23048)
Jan Strugnell
01 Dec 2016 - 30 Jun 2019
This proposal applies a novel biological approach to address a key question for physical scientists. There is great uncertainty in predictions of future sea level rise and recent modelling suggests that forced displacement of over 180 million people this century is conceivable. Predicting the fate of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is central for accurate sea level predictions The complete collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet would lead to the existence of a trans-Antarctic seaway linking the present day Ross, Weddell and Amundsen Seas. Such a seaway would allow marine animal migration across newly opened straights, and a persistent genetic signature of historical connectivity of such events will remain in bottom dwelling animals.
Development of digital apps to facilitate insurance eligibility verification and post-event claim filing for Fijian homeowners - TASK 1 Design software framework and logic flow (Old ID 26517)
Daniel Smith
15 May 2019 - 30 Sep 2019
This project follows on from CTS developing a structural engineering basis for vulnerability models for different housing types in Fiji, for the World Bank and Tower Insurance. The scope covers stage 1 of a 6 stage program to develop digital applications for use by Fijian homeowners to: (a) seek eligibility for cyclone (wind damage) insurance; and (b) initiate claims post event.
Missing and endangered frog surveys and recovery (Old ID 26825)
Conrad Hoskin
01 May 2020 - 31 Dec 2021
This project will survey remote areas, particularly in the Eungella region, to try rediscover an extinct species and also find additional populations of endangered species. Where populations are discovered, detailed population estimates will be made and recovery actions will be formulated.
Coral analysis and NQBP intern framework (Old ID 27153)
Nathan Waltham
08 Feb 2021 - 30 Mar 2021
The partnership agreement between James Cook University and North Queensland Bulk Ports incorporates a pipeline for students to participate in an internship training and education program. This project will include preparation of an information package for students, and a framework to capture and report key learning experiences by students participating in the internship program. Preparation of this framework and package will be used when future students participate in the program. The project will also include the analysis and reporting of coral data collected under the partnership program more broadly.
Mackay & Hay Point Marine Water Quality Monitoring (Old ID 21645)
Nathan Waltham
30 May 2014 - 30 Nov 2017
This project delivers a 12 month water quality sampling and monitoring program within the region of Port of Mackay and Hay Point. In conjunction with the field sampling, sediment plume modelling, using MODIS, will be completed to further characterise water quality conditions within the study area. This characterisation of water quality conditions will assist in the management of the ports and dredging operations planned for this region under the direction of North Queensland Bulk Ports.
Ecology and behaviour of feral cats in the Wet Tropics (Old ID 22929)
Ben Hirsch
01 Sep 2016 - 31 Dec 2017
This project will investigate the behaviour and ecology of feral cats in the Australian wet tropics region using motion sensitive cameras and GPS collars. The goal is to understand the ecological and conservation impacts of these introduced predators across the wet tropics. In addition to generating high profile scientific publications, this project will generate important recommendations for the conservation and management of the wet tropics.
Leadership and Technology Training in Bioinformatics (Old ID 25062)
Matt Field
01 Jul 2018 - 31 Dec 2018
JCU has recently announced the creation of a centre for bioinformatics and genomics. This centre will expand on recent strategic efforts at JCU to develop core bioinformatics capability and solidify leadership in this growing area of research. This will effectively consolidate smaller disparate groups into a wellconnected larger group under one unifying body. Dr Field will act as co-director of this centre while concurrently building a bioinformatics research team at JCU. This proposal outlines steps to obtain the necessary leadership and mentoring skills required to support these two endeavours.
Barramundi origins: determining the contribution of stocking to the barramundi catch on Queensland's east coast. (Old ID 26618)
Dean Jerry
09 Sep 2019 - 24 Dec 2021
Barramundi are stocked in impoundments, freshwater rivers and estuaries along the Queensland east coast and there is strong evidence that a substantial proportion of these fish find their way into estuarine and coastal environments. However, what this contribution actually is to the barramundi commercial fishery is unknown. Established methods for identifying the source of fish-genetics and otolith microchemistry-can be effective, but are costly. This project will evaluate near infra-red spectroscopy (NIRS) on otoliths as a rapid approach to identify if a barramundi is stocked or not.
Corrosion inhibitors for Prochem Haulage (Old ID 26710)
Peter Junk
08 Jan 2020 - 08 Aug 2020
This project will implement a new anti-corrosion system at mining sites coordinated by Prochem Haulage
Application of a machine learning approach for effective stock management of abalone (Old ID 26742)
Jan Strugnell
24 Jul 2020 - 31 Aug 2022
Determining the number and size distribution of abalone present at various stages of production is critical information for effective stock management. Currently the Australian abalone aquaculture industry spends in the order of $25,000 per annum, per farm, gathering this information by hand. However, the resulting data is of mediocre quality, is limited in its scope, and collecting the data causes stress to the animals which can compromise growth and survival. Automated counting and measuring of abalone will increase farm efficiency and productivity in the short term and, in the longer term, will provide an advanced platform for further R&D improvements. Artificial intelligence and machine learning has now matured to a point that accurately counting and measuring abalone is possible using this approach. This project would involve the development, training and validation of a machine learning model to identify, segment and measure quantitative abalone traits in production systems, and render the product data to be accessible and applicable for farmers.
