Current Research Projects
Jemma is currently working on the following research projects:
Strategic management of sediment transport in artificially bypassed tidal entrances in response to changes in morphological characteristics
PhD research topic, Griffith Centre for Coastal Management, Gold Coast, Australia
Coastal restoration in vulnerable island communities as a means for protection and adaptation
Self-funded research project
Strategic land management - A catchment approach to rehabilitation in the extractive industries
Based on the paper presentation given at the APPEA HSE conference in 2015
Successful Coastal Regeneration: Is it possible to successfully regenerate coastal geomorphological zones using manmade infrastructure?
MSc Coastal Zone Management research thesis - development into a publication paper
Use of gypsum to ameliorate aged red muds as part of remediation and rehabilitation trials in Northern Australia
Paper in development
The applicability of LiDAR to monitoring landscape geomorphic change - a case study in mine rehabilitation
Based on the paper presentation given at the TFI Mine Rehabilitation conference in 2016
