2. Year In Review

Australia’s biggest wave research simulator goes live.

The new large-scale wave flume was officially opened

by NSW Planning Minister Rob Stokes on the 20th July, and

named in the memory of Douglas Neil Foster (1930-2001),

widely known by engineers and researchers in the field as

‘the father of coastal engineering in Australia’. The new

facility is the largest of its kind in Australia which is 44m

long, 0.9m wide and 1.6m in depth. The new wave flume

facility is essential to model coastal and inland water

behaviour and will improve the Centre’s ability to deliver

practical advice and better inform ‘best practice’ design and

planning of future development around the NSW and

Australian coastlines.

87% of extracted ground water from shallow open

wells is contaminated by nearby pit latrines.

Whilst in Australia, Jacquie gave a presentation on the

aims for a new research project - an observational

study for the World Health Organisation. The project

will study different existing WaSH interventions in

Tanzania, and determine their ability to protect people

from exposure to chemical and microbial agents, and

how this protection varies according to climate. Project

collaborators include Dr Fiona Johnson from the

UNSW Water Research Centre, and Dr Nobert Joel

from the University of Dar es Salaam.

Dr William Glamore appointed Expert Panel

Once again, WRC successfully secured ARC Linkage Grants announced in the latest round of industry-supported

research funding – 2 x Linkage Grants, 1 x DECRA, 1 x LIEF and the involvement of one other ARC linkage project

administered by another organisation.

Associate Professor Thomas Wiedmann and his team secured a

$260,000 LIEF grant to enhance the modelling capacity for the Industrial

Ecology Virtual Laboratory: This project aims to enable Australian research

leaders working on the integrated sustainability assessment of policies,

products and projects to collaborate in the Industrial Ecology Virtual Labor-

atory (IELab). It seeks to develop and implement an enhanced modelling

capability and suite of online analytical tools to support sustainability scien-

tists and analysts from Australia and abroad conducting research projects

of national and international significance.

Dr Xiaomin Li was funded $321,000 DECRA—Discovery Early Career

Research Award for his project to develop the kinetic (both in vivo and in

vitro) and thermodynamic models of the extracellular electron transfer pro-

cesses at the microbe-mineral interface via outer membrane cytochromes

and exudates of dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria, and elucidating the

potential electron transfer process from iron-reducing bacteria to semicon-

ducting iron minerals.

Professor David Waite and Dr Peter Kovalsky, along with Prof John

Fletcher have been awarded $560,000 to develop technology to cost-

effectively deionize water to make brackish, contaminated water usable –

with industry support from Shenzhen Pangu Environmental Technologies

Co Ltd. Dr Fiona Johnson and Professor Ashish Sharma lead a

$300,000 project with NSW Office of Water to provide a framework for

evaluating climate models on their representation of drought drivers and

then use this information to develop improved downscaling schemes.

We also congratulate Professor Richard Stuetz for his involvement with

the successful grant administered by the University of Wollongong. This

project aims to develop cost effective management approaches to enable

the use of anaerobic co-digestion — the conversion of organic wastes and

wastewater sludge to biogas for electricity production to realise the benefits

of co-digestion.
