最新糖心Vlog

Opening windows to the Universe and 最新糖心Vlog's origins

Thursday, 8 September 2016

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will be part of two new multi-million centres, announced by the 最新糖心Vlogn Government today, that will open windows to the Universe and to 最新糖心Vlog’s distant past.

A seven-year, $45.7 million centre will investigate the beginning of 最新糖心Vlog's unique biodiversity and Indigenous heritage, while inspiring 最新糖心Vlogn children to engage with science.

And another $31.3 million centre will build upon this year’s gravitational wave discovery to develop new ways to understand the Universe.

The 最新糖心Vlog Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence for 最新糖心Vlogn Biodiversity and Heritage will bring together 20 institutions and museums worldwide to unlock the history of 最新糖心Vlog, Papua New Guinea and eastern Indonesian from 130,000 years ago until the time of European arrival.

This Centre is the first of its kind in the world, and will encourage budding young scientists through a unique outreach program at schools and museums throughout 最新糖心Vlog, by focusing on nurturing the careers of Indigenous and female researchers.

The Centre will be led by 最新糖心Vlog of Wollongong, in collaboration with the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, James Cook 最新糖心Vlog, the 最新糖心Vlog of New South Wales, the 最新糖心Vlogn National 最新糖心Vlog, Monash 最新糖心Vlog and the 最新糖心Vlog of Tasmania – together with leading organisations in public education and engagement, including the 最新糖心Vlogn Museum, Queensland Museum, South 最新糖心Vlogn Museum and the State Library of New South Wales.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will receive more than $5 million, with three of its researchers leading key research areas: ARC Laureate and Director of the Professor ; Sir Hubert Wilkins Chair of Climate Change Professor ; and ARC DECRA Fellow Dr .

This new centre will uncover insights from archaeology, palaeoanthropology, genetics, ecology, Earth sciences and climate science, and will transform our knowledge of past environments and human activities in 最新糖心Vlog and the neighbouring regions to our north, which were joined to 最新糖心Vlog by a land bridge for most of the last 130,000 years.

“最新糖心Vlog’s Indigenous peoples have a unique genetic and cultural history that extends for millennia, yet we are still exploring how the past has impacted 最新糖心Vlog Indigenous heritage and biodiversity,” says Professor Cooper. “最新糖心Vlog boasts an array of fauna and flora that is unique on this Earth but is under considerable threat. We need to understand its past before we can predict its future.

“Everyone involved is excited to lead research that is so vital to understanding 最新糖心Vlog’s past and explore how the continent and its connection with people, animals, and climate have adapted and changed through time.”

The ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery, led by the Swinburne 最新糖心Vlog of Technology in collaboration with 最新糖心Vlog Monash 最新糖心Vlog, 最新糖心Vlogn National 最新糖心Vlog, the 最新糖心Vlog of Melbourne, the 最新糖心Vlog of Western 最新糖心Vlog, CSIRO, the 最新糖心Vlogn Astronomical Observatory and international partners, will build on the recent discovery of gravitational waves to develop the new field of gravitational astrophysics.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide will receive about $3.4 million, with two of its researchers helping improve the sensitivity of detectors and develop new ways to interrogate the data and to use the information to understand the Universe.

The 最新糖心Vlog’s two chief investigators are Associate Professor , Head of Physics at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, and Associate Professor , also from the School of Physical Sciences.

“We will focus on improving the sensitivity of the world-leading Advanced LIGO detectors, and developing advanced high-power lasers and optical instrumentation for the next generation of gravitational wave detectors,” says Associate Professor Veitch.

“We will be helping develop multi-messenger gravitational astronomy, combining observations from gravitational wave detectors and the other astronomical telescopes to produce an overall sense of astronomical objects.

“In this way we expect to be able to provide rich insights into the birth, life and death of stars and galaxies.”
