Combustion of mine ventilation air methane using porous burners
I'm working on a project to develop greenhouse gas mitigation technologies for underground coal mines and landfills. At the moment, mine ventilation air containing methane is just released into the air. We're developing an advanced combustion system capable of burning diluted fuels like methane, so that we can make use of a fuel that would otherwise be wasted.
Multi-Scale Modeling of Fluid Flow in Porous Media
The project consists of creating multi-scale tools of flow through granular media and studying the way in which geo-mechanical problems are affected by phenomena at a micro scale.. more...

Aeolian dust in contemporary Australia – a fertiliser, a contaminator or just an occasionally spectacular nuisance?
Aeolian dust usually receives little popular attention in Australia until a massive, rolling dust storm blows out of the arid interior and reduces visibility and air quality across the eastern states. more...

Peace and Conflict Studies
The Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies (CPACS) was established in 1988 through the inspiration of students and academics at the University of Sydney who wanted to create the opportunity for study of the causes and manifestations of violent conflict and the means of achieving peace with justice.. more...
