In this collaborative project, researchers are working to develop future satellites for fire management by using traditional Indigenous knowledge and collaborating on remote sensing technology to help manage wildfires.
New research shows that a deadly frog fungus flourishes in cold conditions. Mortality rates in these environments can approach 100% for some frog species.
Canberra Brain Cancer Collaborative, headed by Professor Leonie Quinn and her team, created the biobank using the $300,000 grant awarded at the 2022 Research Innovation Fund funding round.
We could see more multi-year El Niño and La Niña events in Australia, according to an international team of researchers including a scientist from ANU.
This new research examined the frequency of wildfires in parts of Victoria over the past 40 years. Scientists found that fire frequency is increasing in all ecosystems studied, but to varying extents.
“Aussies drink a lot of coffee. So if we can put that into a material that’s already going to be composted, then it’s a win-win,” says CoffeeKii team member Brett Pollard from the ANU Research School of Chemistry.
