Summary To counter-act the selective herbivory by western grey kangaroos (WGK) on re-vegetated mine sites, plant assessments and animal behaviour experiments were combined in this study. The numerous outcomes included…
Summary Project M0349A was initiated to undertake modifications to the testing facility designed and built in M0349, to make test preparations safer and more efficient, as well as to enhance…
Summary This soilborne fungal pathogen’s spread must be minimized by land managers, who impose quarantine and other controls. In this project methods were evaluated to determine the isolation frequency of…
Report title: Age constraints of the structural and stratigraphic architecture of the Agnew-Wiluna Greenstone Belt: Implications for the age of komatiite-felsic association and interaction in the Eastern Goldfields Province, Western…
Summary Further developing methods and outcomes from M0328, this project had three objectives: maximize the use of seismic monitoring for understanding mine seismicity, develop a quasi-real-time seismic hazard map, and…
Summary The premise of this project was that the fluid history of an ore system is reflected by the thermo-chemical gradients and consequently, research on alteration and geochemistry of gold…
Summary Following on from Project M357, a systematic survey determined the isolation frequency of Phytophthora cinnamomi and other Phytophthora species from the boundary of eight infested areas in southwest Western…
Summary This study built on the comprehensive database of nearly 800 rockfalls and related data from 1993 – 2003 to improve understanding of the nature of rockfall hazards and risks…
Summary The outcomes of this project include a review of alternative anode materials, and results of tests on physical and chemical properties of many anodes supplied by project sponsors. The…
Summary This project supported a Western Australian researcher in transferring new technology, a microarray system, for use locally in detection of microorganisms including Phytophthora cinnamomi. Follow-on work would validate the…
Summary Seismic reflection data were acquired and used successfully in hard rock terrain in a gold exploration campaign. An indirect approach was assumed which aimed to detect and delineate favourable…
Summary This study began with a survey of techniques current in the Australian mining industry for re-colonising rehabilitated mined land with appropriate fauna. It then went on to review potential…
