Research Project name | Short explanation of research area | Contact Details for applicants |
| Land & Water 1 | Beyond the carrot and stick: how social norms and values influence water management | Monitoring, fines and incentives have since long been used as tools for water management. This research area will explore how cultural values and social norms can be used as novel tools for sustainable water management. | For more information please contact Rodrigo Rojas on +61 7 3833 5600 or email Rodrigo.Rojas@csiro.au |
| Land & Water 2 | Fire, termites and tree hollows: is there a trade-off between habitat condition and carbon storage in tropical savannas? | Tree hollows form important faunal habitat and contribute to uncertainty in carbon accounting. The extensive savanna ecosystems of northern Australia have a high density of tree hollows resulting from termite piping and high fire frequencies. This project will unravel the ecological feedbacks between fire management, termite activity, and the abundance of hollow bearing trees in tropical savannas, and link these attributes to remotely sensed variables, improving our ability to measure habitat condition and carbon storage across these vast landscapes. The project provides an opportunity to gain experience in working with specialised hollow detection equipment and undertaking terrestrial laser scanning in remote field locations. In addition, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to gain skills in the processing and analysis of different remotely sensed data, including LiDAR point cloud data, for interpretation of ecological relationships at landscape-scales. The position will be based at the CSIRO Darwin site, within the Ecosystem Dynamics team, and co-supervised by Dr Brett Murphy (Charles Darwin University). It is expected that the successful candidate will obtain an RTP scholarship from Charles Darwin University in order to take up the position. |

| Land & Water 3 | Spaceborne LiDAR as a vegetation biomass scaling tool | NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigator (GEDI) is the first spaceborne LiDAR specifically designed for vegetation 3D structure measurement, and aims to improve the modelling and understanding of carbon dynamics and biodiversity across the globe. This PhD research project will use terrestrial LiDAR to validate GEDI measurements across a range of ecosystem types, predominately in northern Australia. Key objectives are to assess the sensitivity of GEDI for: i) quantifying the 3D structure of sparse and short-statured vegetation in savanna and shrubland ecosystems; and ii) measuring vegetation regrowth following disturbances, such as windthrow and fire. | For more information please contact Shaun Levick on +61 8 8944 8429 or email Shaun.Levick@csiro.au |
| Land & Water 4 | Building the case for responsible science and technology innovation and impact in Australia | Identification of approaches that enable responsible science and science entrepreneurship to transform creative ideas and solutions into triple bottom line real-world impact | For more information please contact Cathy Robinson on +61 7 3833 5742 or email Catherine.Robinson@csiro.au |
| Land & Water 5 | River flows and aquatic predator ecology in tropical river-floodplains of northern Australia | This project will explore links between tropical river-floodplain flow regimes and the trophic ecology, biomass and distribution of aquatic predators (barramundi, saltwater crocodiles, riverine sharks and sawfish) in northern Australia. This project will improve our understanding of how northern aquatic ecosystems are likely to change as a result of climate change and water resource development. |
