Grants

• X.H. Wang (CI), (with Mr David Williams and Prof. Weibing Guan), INPEX Browse Ltd, State Key Laboratory of Satellite Ocean Environment Dynamics, Understanding and Predicting Sediment Distribution and Net Transport in Estuaries and Coastal Oceans with an Emphasis on Muddy Bottom Layers, ARC Linkage, 2011-2013: LP110100652, $240,000. This project will design and implement a field campaign to observe fluid mud layers in the muddy harbours and develop predictive models to investigate these layers. This research will give new direction to port management by developing adaptive tools to solve water quality and siltation problems in muddy ports and harbours in Australia.
