Honours Project
Honours Projects with the Reef Catchments Science Partnership
We are interested in supervising honours students in the following broad areas:
- Risk and hazard based projects
- Analysing temporal trends in data projects
- GIS-based projects
- Pesticide mixtures projects
- Maximising the value of real-time water quality monitoring projects
- Miscellaneous projects.
There are a number of priority projects that we will give priority to undertaking in the student selection process. These are of greatest interest and will be of greatest scientific value.
Students undertaking priority projects are guaranteed a $5 000 stipend, however we can only supervise three honours students per year.
The priority projects are:
- Statistical analysis of temporal trends in nitrate loads in rivers that discharge to the Great Barrier Reef
- Statistical analysis of temporal trends in pesticide concentrations in rivers that discharge to the Great Barrier Reef
- Statistical analysis of temporal trends in sediment loads non-PSII herbicides in rivers that discharge to the Great Barrier Reef
- Statistical analysis of temporal trends in the toxicity of pesticide mixtures in rivers that discharge to the Great Barrier Reef
- Using GIS techniques to predict the toxicity of pesticide mixtures for every one-kilometre reach of rivers that drain to the GBR
- Fingerprinting Water: Using real-time monitoring spectra to predict the concentrations of pesticides
Process for applying and selecting honours students
- Students email Assoc. Prof. Michael Warne (michael.warne@uq.edu.au) or Dr Ryan Turner (ryan.turner@uq.edu.au) expressing an interest in working on one of more honours projects.
- Students will be selected on the following basis:
- preference will be given to students interested in working on the priority honours projects
- preference will be given to students who have completed Pollution Science
- their grade point average of students
- the eagerness of the students to work on projects.
Projects will be supervised by staff from the Reef Catchments Science Partnership, the Queensland Department of Environment and Science and other UQ departments.
