Australian dust storms can be characterised by where they come from, where they travel to and how much dust is transported. This thesis aims to build an Australian dust storm dataset using geostationary satellite Himawari-8 that can be used to analyse these characteristics.

Microbial communities are fundamental to soil health, driving nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and plant-microbe interactions. This research investigates how neonicotinoids influence microbial communities, interactions and functional potential across different soil types

The state, dynamics, spatial configuration and characteristics of wildland fuels are critical in understanding fire spread and severity in wildland ecosystems.
