Using the soundscape at Seal Rocks to develop a noise impact model for Australian fur seals at Seal Rocks

In order to evaluate the impact of increasing human disturbance on the health and viability of the Australian fur seal population at Seal Rocks, Victoria, this project will use an a more...

Concrete and rock hydro-cracking

The purpose of this research is to identify the micro-mechanisms governing the permeability of concrete and rocks featuring cracks, and those governing the crack opening induced by more...

Supervisor(s): Dias-da-Costa, Daniel (Dr)

Multiple PhD positions are available in the field of granular mechanics and materials science.

The projects will focus on the process of “Granular Wear”, which occurs when moving objects through granular materials. Granular wear is a significant issue in mining an more...
