A Charles Darwin University (CDU) PhD candidate has been named a National Geographic Explorer in recognition of her exceptional work researching upstream solutions to food and nutrition insecurity in coastal communities.
CDU researcher Lucinda (Lulu) Middleton received this prestigious title as part of a National Geographic Society grant.
Researchers from Charles Darwin University (CDU) will play a vital role in shaping solutions for key Australian industries after receiving two of only 32 projects funded through the Australian Government’s National Industry PhD program.
New First Nations tourism training is helping to build the professional credentials, business acumen and interpersonal skills of Aboriginal people, and in turn, secure new jobs and career options for Aboriginal communities in Central Australia.
The training is also building capacity in the Red Centre tourism industry, where there is significant international and domestic demand for First Nations tour guides, who can provide authentic cultural perspective and knowledge of the country’s desert heart.
Former head of NT Farmers, Paul Burke, is now supporting the Research Institute of Northern Agriculture (RINA) after being appointed its Steering Committee Independent Chair.
Mr Burke was the CEO of the farmers’ association for four years, and was instrumental in getting mango pickers to help the industry in the Northern Territory to survive the lockdown, when fruit was rotting on the ground in other regions because of picker shortages.
Australian healthcare workers can be better prepared for future pandemics, infection prevention and other scenarios that require quarantine or isolation, according to authors of a new quarantine toolkit.
Researchers from Charles Darwin University’s (CDU) Menzies School of Medicine developed the pandemic quarantine facility guide based on management of the Howard Springs Centre for National Resilience, which served as a quality model of quarantine and care during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Artificial intelligence (AI) could be key to companies avoiding significant losses of jobs, money and more according to a study led by Charles Darwin University (CDU).
The study explored using AI to predict organisational agility, or a company’s ability to effectively respond to change, brought about by factors such as market competition, economic pressures, and emerging technology.
Data from 44 respondents in public and private Australian sectors was used to build AI models to predict how agile the organisations were based questions around agility practices.
NT rivers fed through reliable groundwater flows have greater fish biodiversity than inland seasonal rivers where flows rely on rain-driven surface waters, a new Charles Darwin University (CDU) study reveals.
CDU Freshwater Ecologist Professor Jenny Davis was the lead on the first major survey of freshwater fish fauna at the Beetaloo Sub-basin and upper Roper River region of the Northern Territory.
Professor Davis said biodiversity research was vital in this region because of the emerging shale gas industry’s potential impact on river flows and water quality.
