Summary
Scenario testing for sustainable Australian agricultural landscapes to 2050. This project aims to develop and apply the first systems-based projective spatial methodology for evaluating and communicating Australian agricultural landscape scenarios to 2050. Its conceptual framework combines the synergistic approaches of geodesign, scenario testing and projective design to generate empirically-informed scenarios to spatialise agriculture's national environmental, social, economic, demographic and ....Scenario testing for sustainable Australian agricultural landscapes to 2050. This project aims to develop and apply the first systems-based projective spatial methodology for evaluating and communicating Australian agricultural landscape scenarios to 2050. Its conceptual framework combines the synergistic approaches of geodesign, scenario testing and projective design to generate empirically-informed scenarios to spatialise agriculture's national environmental, social, economic, demographic and competing land-use challenges. Benefits and outcomes will support robust decision-making processes to reduce risk and contribute to more intergenerationally sustainable Australian agricultural practices, industries, communities and landscapes.Read moreRead less

Summary
Partnering with local knowledge systems to impact river management. The project aims to connect Local and Indigenous Knowledge Systems (LINKS) to other actors and processes involved in river transformation. Working in partnership with holders of Local and Indigenous knowledge, and using Indonesian river catchments as case studies, the project expects to generate new knowledge in development and planning studies. Expected outcomes include the development and dissemination of recommendations and s ....Partnering with local knowledge systems to impact river management. The project aims to connect Local and Indigenous Knowledge Systems (LINKS) to other actors and processes involved in river transformation. Working in partnership with holders of Local and Indigenous knowledge, and using Indonesian river catchments as case studies, the project expects to generate new knowledge in development and planning studies. Expected outcomes include the development and dissemination of recommendations and strategies for how LINKS can inform river management. Anticipated benefits include significant new knowledge on how river management actors can partner with local communities to innovate to meet the compounding challenges of climate change and deliver greater impact and efficiency of investment.Read moreRead less

Designing for early engagement and wellbeing in palliative care. This project aims to generate design guidelines to assist architects in creating better palliative care environments to mitigate the stress associated with end-of-life events for patients, their families and healthcare teams. Facing death, either one’s own or that of a family member, is one of life’s most difficult experiences. Targeted design interventions can encourage early engagement with palliative care, enhance communication ....Designing for early engagement and wellbeing in palliative care. This project aims to generate design guidelines to assist architects in creating better palliative care environments to mitigate the stress associated with end-of-life events for patients, their families and healthcare teams. Facing death, either one’s own or that of a family member, is one of life’s most difficult experiences. Targeted design interventions can encourage early engagement with palliative care, enhance communication and social support in palliative care environments and support staff to deliver optimal patient care. These factors have all been shown to contribute positively to wellbeing. This project will provide benefits for patients, their families and healthcare teams.Read moreRead less

Strategies to minimise the societal impacts of zoonotic pandemics. The continuing pandemic has had unprecedented effects across society. Population mobility restrictions have been effective in slowing transmission, but are only effective while in place and have dramatic adverse effects. Despite Australia’s relative success, we have lacked a clear national strategy to guide the optimal deployment of such restrictions.

The continuing pandemic has had unprecedented effects across society. Population mobility restrictions have been effective in slowing transmission, but are only effective while in place and have dramatic adverse effects. Despite Australia’s relative success, we have lacked a clear national strategy to guide the optimal deployment of such restrictions. During this fellowship, I will use robust software development practices to develop a unified software platform that integrates semi-mechanistic, particle filter and agent-based methodologies. I will then use this platform to quantify the effects of mobility restrictions and define the optimal strategic response that should be selected based on the characteristics of a newly emerged pathogen.Read moreRead less
