Assembling a plant fossil record database from
paper journal source to an on-line resource. This will include all
Cenozoic plant macrofossil records from Australia in the first instance
and may then be expanded to include New Zealand and the Cretaceous
records.
An interactive identification guide to Australian
invertebrates for students, ecologists, and environmental agencies
and assessment companies.
SahulTime: An Interactive Exploration of Australia's
Cultural and Natural History. SahulTime offers innovative ways to
explore temporal data encompassing several discipline areas of study
using a web browser, similar to the GoogleEarth interface. For highlights

Development of tools to extend biodiversity
scenarios to climate change impacts scenarios and establish a new
global 'biodiversity observation network' (GEO BON)
Enhance end-user collaborations (such as Dept
of Conservation and Biota Pty Ltd) via an on-line dtatbase resulting
from outcomes of an earlier Network funded project that integrated
various research efforts on short-range endemic taxa for arid regions
in Australia.
Investigating Australia's past depositional
regimes by accessing intact sedimentary sections (or core samples)
to search for fossils as a result of the mining expansion in southern
Australia. This will result in a web resource highlighting new fossil
locations and potential for future research opportunities and industry
partnerships.
