This unit gives an overview of some of the key ideas and concepts that underpin modern applied mathematics. There are three distinct elements that will be covered: (i) an introduction to complex analysis, in which we discuss the important theories and some applications particularly to fluid mechanics and transform methods; this leads on to (ii) transform methods and their use in solving problems,...

Geodesy is the study of the Earth's dynamic shape, size, and gravitational field. Modern space geodetic observations underpin not only our ability to determine precise location on Earth and in orbit, but a broad number of scientific fields that address questions of direct societal relevance; the study of regional and global changes in mean sea level, quantifying changes to polar ice caps,...

Obtaining project funding is critical for a successful career in research and grant writing is an art form. In this unit, higher degree research students will gain an insight into the research funding environment in Australia. Different types of grants (including projects and fellowships) will be discussed and the process of preparing an application will be practiced in several steps. Skills will...

From the poles to the tropics, marine predators influence marine ecosystem structure through top down and bottom-up processes. Marine predators including tuna, turtles, sharks, seabirds, and marine mammals, range widely across global oceans. Often feeding at the top of marine food webs, they integrate ecosystem signals and are indicators or sentinels of prey distributions, ecosystem structure and...
