Discovery Project (including an Australian Professorial Fellowship) Circular Migration in Asia, the Pacific and Australia: Empirical, Theoretical and Policy.
Amount awarded 2010-2014: $844,000 Project Summary:
Few issues have been more significant in contemporary Australia than international migration. It is of fundamental importance to Australia's future as it faces the global economic downturn, ageing, climate change and an ever changing relationship with its Asia Pacific neighbours. In the past Australia's migration relationship with its region has been almost totally seen as a source of skilled settlers.
However this relationship is increasingly a more complex one. Migration will continue to be fundamental to the nation's economy, society and security and this study seeks to provide an evidence base for better policy and practice in immigration and development.

Linkage Project Establishing baseline ecological conditions for the Lower Lakes, South Australia: the applications of palaeoecology to sustainable resource management.
Total awarded: $145,000 Partner Organisations: SA Department of Environment and Heritage & South Australian Murray Darling Basin Natural Resource Management Board Summary:
The Lower Lakes of the Murray River are in a critical ecological state due to record low water levels. Management of these lakes needs to integrate water security demands with maintaining healthy ecosystem functions. Proposed management options such as allowing seawater incursion and the construction of a weir to impede freshwater flows are based on assumptions about what the Lakes were like naturally (pre-European). This study will reconstruct environmental variability within the Lower Lakes over the past 7000 years, concentrating on salinity to document the extent of marine incursion, and pH to examine the impacts of acid sulphate release from exposed sediments during low flow events.
