Attributing land-use/land cover change influence on hydrological-ecosystem interactions with artificial intelligenceDr Ravinesh Deo, University of Southern QueenslandDr Deo will develop new artificial intelligence methods, with expertise from Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, by employing Land Use/Land Cover Change (LULCC) and hydro-meteorological data to investigate LUCC-responses and signal filtering mechanisms separating climate-variability and climate-change signatures, ecosystem functioning to forecast ecosystem services and develoop next generation models in changing climate. Deep learning will be adoped to project land-use/hyrological scanarios (Panama/Queensland) to understand LUCC-watershed and hydrological interaction, protect Queensland's landscapes and drive strategic climate adaptation policy. |

Using ancient genomics to identify the endanged pure Queensland dingoesDr Subashchandran Sankarasubramanian, University of the Sunshine CoastDr Sankarasubramanian will help to address the dangers faced by Dingoes in Queensland, as they are at the brink of becoming endangered due to the high rate of interbreeding with domestic dogs. This will eventually result in the loss of pure dingoes altogether. This fellowship addresses the issue by sequencing the whole genome of a 350 year old ancient dingo using the ancient genomics facility at the Centre for Conservation Genomics, Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and using the genome sequence to identify genetically pure dingoes. The outcome of this collaborative project will help Queensland Government agencies to prioritise conservation management efforts to protect pure dingoes and to distinguish them from dingo-dog hybrids. |

Next generation systematics of Queensland's threatened ferns and lycophytes.Dr Ashley Field, Queensland HerbariumDr Field will use a globally sampled collaborative Next-Generation DNA sequencing (NGS) dataset that is being generated by the US National Science Foundation funded GoFlag project, as well as morphological data from herbarium specimens in the US National Herbarium and other associated herbaria. This study will enable Dr Field to phylogenetically test the validity of Endangered and Vulnerable, and where possible presumed Extinct, Queensland fern species and make a more informed future assessment about whether they should be considered threatened species in Queensland. |

Developing Innovative Community Consultation through Co-Design ProcessesDr Donna Hancox, Queensland University of TechnologyDr Hancox will investigate the philosophy underpinning, and the impact of, co-design community consultation practices. Her project will also examine the potential of digital technology to create, deliver and disseminate high impact arts projects that can be deployed in a regional arts framework for Queensland. The Smithsonian Cooper Hewitt Design Museum has created and delivered such projects as part of their core business to incorporate design processes in daily life to improve the outcomes for communities and increase civic participation. |
