Caring for Country: Knowledge challenges to reconnecting with Country. This project aims to investigate how Indigenous approaches to environmental care compete and navigate diverse environmental perspectives to co-existing landscape and climate priorities. The project is led by Indigenous researchers supporting Indigenous community researchers in a community of practice. The project expects to generate new knowledges about how Indigenous cultural landscape identities strengthen and support Indigenous collective agency. It also explores the more-than-two-way interaction of knowledges informing environmental care governed and determined by Indigenous communities. The study builds new collaborative frameworks for Indigenous communities to work effectively in complex environmental management arrangements. Field of research: 4503 - Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Environmental Knowledges and Management This project supports the national Closing the Gap initiative by addressing a key missing piece in research—how Indigenous Australian cultural, spiritual, physical, and economic connections to land and water play a vital role in environmental care and governance. Current environmental policies at the federal, state, and territory levels often fail to provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with the resources and support needed to participate fully as partners and decision makers informing care of Country. This makes it harder for local Indigenous groups to continue traditional approaches to caring for traditional lands and sea. The project aims to explore how Indigenous stewardship of Country balances and adapts to both traditional and government-led ways of looking after Country. By understanding how Indigenous rangers and stewards integrate different knowledge systems, the research can help shift perspectives in environmental policy, ensuring Indigenous-led land and sea care practices are recognised, supported, and sustained while strengthening cultural connections and continuity to Country for Indigenous futures.

Harnessing rare earths for new chemistry. This project aims to deploy the high reactivity of rare earth metals and their metal-organic compounds in exciting new chemistry. Their capacity to activate the strong carbon-fluorine bonds will be used to break down forever fluorocarbons like PFAS chemicals. The role of free-metals in reactions to replace mercury compounds will be enhanced and a recently discovered C-P cleavage reaction will be developed to access unusual low valent rare earth complexes. This project will provide significant benefits such as a better knowledge base in rare earth chemistry to underpin future applications in chemical manufacturing, new materials, catalysis and recycling while building a highly trained workforce and international collaboration. Field of research: 3402 - Inorganic Chemistry Australia has vast and valuable resources of rare earth minerals. New chemical innovations in the use of rare earth minerals will benefit existing and emerging industry in Australia challenging the offshore dominance of the rare earth market. This project will investigate novel chemical interactions to produce more sustainable methods for use in rare earth chemistry by attempting to advance the break-down of harmful molecules that persist in the environment, “forever chemicals”, while creating innovative new synthetic procedures. The outcomes of the project will maintain Australia's international prominence in rare earth chemistry and generate highly qualified scientists with technological expertise in the field. It will provide significant benefits such as a better knowledge base in rare earth chemistry to underpin future applications in chemical manufacturing, new materials, and recycling while building a highly trained workforce and international collaborations.
