The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Summary
Optimising bioengineered structures for resilient shorelines and habitats. Nature-based solutions for shoreline protection through ecosystem restoration are increasingly being considered by foreshore managers. However, habitat restoration efforts are greatly hampered by the time it takes to fully revegetate an area. This project aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of wave interaction with bioengineered structures that provide shelter from wave impacts and promote revegetation and contr ....Optimising bioengineered structures for resilient shorelines and habitats. Nature-based solutions for shoreline protection through ecosystem restoration are increasingly being considered by foreshore managers. However, habitat restoration efforts are greatly hampered by the time it takes to fully revegetate an area. This project aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of wave interaction with bioengineered structures that provide shelter from wave impacts and promote revegetation and contribute to shoreline flood and erosion mitigation. Expected outcomes of this project include quantitative design guidelines and predictive tools that will help foreshore managers to develop more robust and cost-effective nature-based shoreline protection strategies.

Summary
Design and optimisation of metal hydride hydrogen storage tanks. This project aims to tackle the bottlenecks of the current metal hydride hydrogen storage tank developed by the key industry partner LAVO, i.e., limited storage capacity and non-efficient structure design. Through advanced numerical modelling and machine learning methods, the metal hydride hydrogen storage tank will be optimised by redesigning advanced heat management systems and optimised hydride materials, enabling it to store an ....Design and optimisation of metal hydride hydrogen storage tanks. This project aims to tackle the bottlenecks of the current metal hydride hydrogen storage tank developed by the key industry partner LAVO, i.e., limited storage capacity and non-efficient structure design. Through advanced numerical modelling and machine learning methods, the metal hydride hydrogen storage tank will be optimised by redesigning advanced heat management systems and optimised hydride materials, enabling it to store and deliver hydrogen in a more controllable way with high performance. Expected outcomes of the project include the numerical platform to improve the material and design iteration and a prototype of the next-generation metal hydride hydrogen storage system. This opens a new market for Australian-H2 storage tanks.

Summary
Development of rapid-response thermal batteries for the global market. In collaboration with Isothermix, this project aims to develop and commercialize cost-effective, rapid-response thermal batteries to meet the air conditioning peak demand of buildings. This project expects to generate new knowledge about the phase change materials which can be used to store thermal energy across a range of temperatures and the highly thermal conductive materials which can be used as a heat exchanger.

In collaboration with Isothermix, this project aims to develop and commercialize cost-effective, rapid-response thermal batteries to meet the air conditioning peak demand of buildings. This project expects to generate new knowledge about the phase change materials which can be used to store thermal energy across a range of temperatures and the highly thermal conductive materials which can be used as a heat exchanger. Expected outcomes include the development of rapid response thermal batteries which can cool buildings across a range of temperatures and site conditions. This should provide significant benefits by reducing primary heating and cooling plant capacity and thereby our reliance on fossil fuels.Read moreRead less
