The project involves making a series of measurements on the Amery Ice Shelf using GPS static and kinematic procedures to determine the horizontal and vertical displacements of the ice shelf as a function of time. Read More....

The project involves making a series of measurements of the Amery ice sheet topography using static and kinematic GPS observations, aircraft laser profiling and measurements made from the new generation of satellite geoscience laser altimeter system (GLAS). Read More....

Using tide measurements made between 1837-43 at Port Arthur , Tasmania and a new set of tide gauge data collected over a two-year period between August 1999-2001, we can make an estimate of sea level change over this 158 year period Read More....

Petroleum contaminated sediments in Antarctica require remediation to reduce environmental risks. As remediation schemes are both incident & environment specific, I examined; Type, concentrations & distributions, Processes & rates of contaminant dispersal & natural attenuation & Baseline environmental parameters that may influence choice/ effectiveness of remediation schemes. Read More....

My project addresses the question: Are the temperature increases predicted to occur due to climate change sufficient to affect insect body size? Using museum collections I will determine the relationship between latitude, temperature and body size in a range of Australian insects. This relationship will be tested experimentally along altitudinal gradients and in controlled laboratory experiments. Read More....
