An Australian housing condition data infrastructure:
This project aims to develop, collect, and make available an Australian housing conditions data infrastructure. We don't know enough about the condition of Australia’s housing. In the nearly two decades since the last Australian Housing Survey, there have been significant changes in the housing system, and there researchers and policy makers are calling for a systematic, reliable and nationally representative dataset of housing conditions. The infrastructure would provide Australia's a foundation for evidence-informed research on Australia's housing conditions. The data infrastructure would provide tools, data and protocols for Australian researchers and policy makers, and would be an accessible resource that can be built upon, adapted and applied to population groups and locations of interest.Read moreRead less

Summary
Infrastructure for a Spatially Integrated Social Science e-Research Facility. The requested facility with its Nationally Distributed Socio-Spatial Data System and On-Line Analysis, Modeling and Visualisation Research Facility will enhance Australia's national research capacity for secondary data analysis and modeling of socio-spatial information with visualisation, substantially reducing the cost of innovative research conducted at various levels of spatial scale to investigate both local and na ....Infrastructure for a Spatially Integrated Social Science e-Research Facility. The requested facility with its Nationally Distributed Socio-Spatial Data System and On-Line Analysis, Modeling and Visualisation Research Facility will enhance Australia's national research capacity for secondary data analysis and modeling of socio-spatial information with visualisation, substantially reducing the cost of innovative research conducted at various levels of spatial scale to investigate both local and nationally significant demographic, social, economic and behavioural issues. It will deliver national/community benefits through enabling hundreds of researchers and graduate students across the university system to investigate demographic, economic and social issues at various levels of spatial scale.Read moreRead less

Summary
High resolution airborne radar for environmental research: soil moisture, vegetation, salinity and terrain mapping. There is a rapidly increasing demand for a range of environmental data. For example, information on soil moisture status is required for efficient and sustainable water use. Moreover, irrigation practices and large scale clearing have led to serious land degradation through increased salinity from rising water tables. Combined soil moisture and salinity measurement will provide im ....High resolution airborne radar for environmental research: soil moisture, vegetation, salinity and terrain mapping. There is a rapidly increasing demand for a range of environmental data. For example, information on soil moisture status is required for efficient and sustainable water use. Moreover, irrigation practices and large scale clearing have led to serious land degradation through increased salinity from rising water tables. Combined soil moisture and salinity measurement will provide important insight to this complex issue. Further, understanding the complex and rich biodiversity of Australian flora and its adaptation to droughts and fire is essential to ensuring Australian ecosystem longevity. Knowledge of flora changes through time as a function of soil moisture content and salinity is key to gaining this understanding.Read moreRead less

Summary
Hydrodynamics and water quality field research facility. Understanding the fate of sediments and contaminants transported through catchments and the marine environment and their impacts on aquatic and marine ecosystems requires detailed hydrodynamic understanding at a range of scales. By establishing a state of the art research facility, JCU and GU together have a unique opportunity to provide hydrodynamic and water quality research which will support research priority areas of both institutions ....Hydrodynamics and water quality field research facility. Understanding the fate of sediments and contaminants transported through catchments and the marine environment and their impacts on aquatic and marine ecosystems requires detailed hydrodynamic understanding at a range of scales. By establishing a state of the art research facility, JCU and GU together have a unique opportunity to provide hydrodynamic and water quality research which will support research priority areas of both institutions, and advance the understanding of Australia's important tropical and subtropical ecosystems. Currently, excellent researchers and novel collaborations between and within James Cook University and Griffith University, are restricted by the lack of essential modern equipment.Read moreRead less
