Head of School Introduction
2012 has been another productive year for the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. There has been continued growth and achievements in all key areas – research, teaching and community engagement. In the most recent ARC Excellence in Research for Australia rankings, BEES was a major contributor to UNSW gaining “4s” (above world standard) for both Biological Sciences and Earth Sciences, placing us in good standing with other Group of Eight institutions. Within these two areas of research BEES was the main contributors to a 5 (well above world standard) for evolutionary biology and 4s for ecology, geology and physical geography. Much of this has been driven by our competitive grants and publications track record with BEES generating more papers than any other school at UNSW – many in top ranked international journals. Demand for upper level courses in the biological and earth sciences has continued to grow, especially from students within the Advanced Science program. The main expansion, however, has been in honours and higher degree research student numbers, with over 120 PhDs or Masters of Philosophy candidates. Two of the highlights each year are the postgraduate forums where the students present progress on their research projects. The school has revised its honours program to place greater emphasis on research and pathways to professional practice or further graduate research studies.

BEES ANNUAL REPORT 2012
A number of new appointments were made in the areas of ecology and animal behavior, plant sciences, and remote sensing and GIS (most commencing in 2013). The school also secured a number of fellowships and UNSW VC postdocs. The Institute of Environmental Studies and the Climate Change Research Centre joined BEES as their “home” school, bring the staffing number to over 100 academics and 40 technical and administrative staff. There have been a number of positional changes, with John Triantafilis taking over as Director of Teaching, Dale DomineyHowes as Postgraduate Coordinator, Kate Stuart as Technical Services Manager and Chris Myers as Health and Safety Manager. There was a general re-organisation of technical staff to provide a closer match between areas of technical staff expertise and the main areas of research support. We noted the retirements of long-standing members of the UNSW staff David Hair and Paul Lennox (though many of our retired staff still lead field courses and on-going research projects).
BEES staff have won a number of awards in 2012, including NSW science prizes to Emma Johnston and Angela Moles, a Eureka prize to Rob Brander, a Queensland literary prize to Rob Brooks, teaching and postgraduate supervision awards to Emma Johnston, Alistair Poore and Mike Archer, along with numerous other prizes listed in the prizes section of this annual report. The resurgence of the earth sciences was demonstrated in August when BEES staff and students presented 65 oral and poster papers at the 34th International Geological Congress. Planning is well under way for the development of a new Biosciences building and refurbishment of the old one, with construction likely to commence in December 2014. This will provide the School with much needed increases in the quality and quantity of space, including specialist research facilities. 2012 was also the year of the inaugural BEES Ball, held at Darling Harbour. I am pleased to present the 2012 annual report of the School of BEES.

Strategic Plan The School Identity
Since its formation in 2002, BEES has continued to evolve as a school that deliberately spans the biological sciences, the geosciences and related cross-disciplinary areas in research and teaching.

collaborations with various external organisations, and the culture of research being developed in the School.
make contributions at Faculty and University levels. The School supports a portion of the research centres and field station operations.
Research is the core activity of the School, the principal consideration in the appointment of staff and allocation of resources, and the platform for the teaching program. Research projects and themes range across the “pure” to “applied” spectrum, covering aspects of the origin, behaviour and future of the natural world, and human interactions with that world. Research focal areas are supported through research centres and groups within the School and links with other organisations.
The provision of proper resources, high quality and engaging teaching is also crucial to the School. Teaching provides a means of transferring knowledge derived from our research and scholarship to the next generation of scientists, recruitment of future research students and a major source of operating funds. The emphasis of that teaching, especially at upper levels, is derived from the School’s areas of research focus. Other important activities of the School are service to the University and professions, and interaction with the community.
The centres and research groups, hosted or partly hosted within the School, are the research homes for staff and postgraduates. They provide specific research facilities, research mentoring and training, and the primary source of collaborative research. The centres and groups are fundamental to building the research culture.
The growing status of the School is derived from the international reputation of its staff, the quality and quantity of its research, the calibre of its graduates, an increasing capacity to attract research funds from diverse sources, expanding
The School itself provides a physical home for staff, administrative and logistical support. The School is the entity through which courses are formally delivered. It is the primary organisational unit through which staff are represented and
BEES ANNUAL REPORT 2012
While maintaining a core of biological and earth science research, teaching and consulting capabilities related to the focus areas of the School, various research opportunities are being pursued as the disciplines evolve, new areas of discovery and theory emerge and linkages develop within UNSW and beyond.
Strategic Plan Performance Targets
The 2010-2014 School Strategic Plan sets out a number of targets relating to research and teaching performance, and other operational and organisational aspects of the school. These targets are consistent with those of the Science Faculty and the University as a whole.
Target
Performance
Growth in Category 1 funding higher than equivalent Go8 Schools.
Research funding for BEES has grown from under $2m in 2004 to over $8m in 2011, with Cat 1 funding growing from $1.5m to $6.7m. This does not include projects where other schools or institutions are the lead CIs. With 2.7% of the UNSW academic staff, BEES generated nearly 4% of the total UNSW research income in 2011.
Increase to 120 HDR students in the school with established permanent academic staff supervising at least 3 FTE HDRs.
This target has been met, following growth in the earth science student numbers and the merging of the IES and the CCRC into BEES.
Attain and maintain 100% research active status for eligible staff.
This has been achieved and supported through the staff Performance Review and Management processes in the School.
Increase the number of publications per FTE staff.
There has been strong growth in publications in the school, from less than 100 in 2002 to over 320 in 2012 (provisional ďŹ gures) despite only a 32% increase in staff numbers.
Reconstruction of undergraduate programs.
Major revisions to the BEES honours program have been agreed. Further reductions in low-enrolment programs and courses (especially at ďŹ rst year) are proceeding.
Minimum 500 EFTSU coursework load taught by BEES.
This has been exceeded and the School achieved a taught load of 510 EFTSU in 2012 (570 including IES).
Courses to have overall CATEI rating above 4.8.
The current average is just over 4.9, with 26 out of the 39 courses surveyed in 2010/11 exceeding this benchmark. The average of all of Science is 4.80.

Areas of Research
The School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences has an outstanding reputation for quality research both within Australia and internationally. Research within BEES is clustered within two general thematic areas; (i) ecology and evolutionary biology and (ii) environmental change resources and sustainability. Within these themes there are a number of focal points for research: Environmental Management and Policy In the 21st Century, environmental concerns and more broadly sustainability are providing greater constraints and opportunities for businesses, governments and NGO’s. Current interdisciplinary research areas include: ecologically sustainable and socially just development; environmental assessment and management, sustainable land use management, natural resources, energy and urban transportation: technology assessment, policies and strategies for implementation; indigenous and local/traditional ecological knowledge; and biodiversity.
Evolutionary Ecology, Genetics and Behaviour The School hosts an important research cluster in evolutionary ecology, genetics, and behavioural ecology. research systems include a range of terrestrial and marine invertebrates, vertebrates and plants. The Evolution & Ecology Research Centre comprises a number of academic staff members from BEES, as well as other schools within UNSW.
Terrestrial and Marine Conservation and Ecology There are major strengths in various aspects of terrestrial and marine ecosystems and our research involved both fundamental studies in ecology through to conservation and management. Part of this research involves understanding the effects of environmental change on ecosystems and implications for their sustainability.
Palaeosciences The biological aspects of this area of research spans the ďŹ rst appearance of life through to hominid evolution, with a focus on the Australian megafauna. The physical aspects include analysis of the extent and effect of climatic changes in the Archaean at one extreme and the Quarternary at the other.
Spatial Information Systems Natural Resources and Environments This broad area of research in the school ranges from mineral deposit studies through to water resources, coastal resource management and natural hazards. Research includes both the physical and the human aspects of resource use and interaction. The group within BEES is perhaps unique within Australia in its integrated, multidisciplinary focus on interactions at the soil/plant/ water interface and related human processes.
Apart from some fundamental studies on both remote sensing and GIS techniques, this area supports much of the research undertaken elsewhere in the School. Current research areas of research include radar methods and mapping changes in biological diversity at local, regional and global scales.

Research Funding
BEES is a research-intensive School, dedicated to both pure and applied research in natural systems spanning the biological sciences to the geosciences. Research is the core activity of academic staff and the main driver for the School planning. The School seeks to conduct research that is signiďŹ cant at national and international levels. Since 2002, the School has increased annual funding from $2.2M to over $8.0M, and achieved a balanced portfolio of sources (Cat 1 to Cat 4). A comprehensive list of research projects can be found in appendix 2.

BEES Centres
Their key research objectives include: ● Key threats, risks and uncertainties facing biodiversity of wetlands and rivers and their conservation values; ● Understanding the spatial and temporal natural and anthropogenic drivers of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems;
Australia-Pacific Tsunami Research Centre (APTRC) The UNSW-APTRC was officially established on October 6th 2009. The second year of operation (January 1st to December 31st 2010) was characterised by the inclusion of new ‘core staff’ to the centre, new PhD enrolments, modest research grant income generation and a very healthy publication output. Via award of a highly competitive ‘UNSW Strategic Research Priority Grant’, Co-Director, Dale DomineyHowes laid the foundations for the establishment of the UNSW Australia Pacific Tsunami Research Centre (UNSW-APTRC) www.nhrl.unsw.edu.au The UNSW-APTRC is a unique, world-class research facility. It is unique because it is the only natural hazards focussed research centre in Australia that ‘couples’ together the earth system science component of natural hazards and disasters (processes, distribution, frequency, magnitudes) with the socioeconomic and human dimensions of hazard (including risk management, planning and decision making).
The UNSW-APTRC represents an ‘holistic, end-to-end’ research facility drawing together physical earth scientists, modellers, geographers, social scientists, policy experts and risk managers to provide a truly ‘contextual’ understanding of hazards. This uniqueness of focus means that the work of the staff (recognised world leaders in their respective fields) is ‘fast tracked’ into policy and decision-making contexts at local, State and Federal government levels. The UNSW-APTRC is highly dynamic and an exciting place to be based.
Australian Wetlands and Rivers Centre (AWRC) The AWRC group focus their research effort on the key threats, risks and uncertainties facing biodiversity of wetlands and rivers and their conservation values. They are also involved in similar challenges in terrestrial ecosystems. They have a strong emphasis on providing rigorous advice to governments at State and Federal levels and building expertise in the adaptive management of Australia’s ecosystems. Communication of research results is a key objective through peer reviewed papers, the media, electronic databases and other research outputs.
● Understanding the functioning of wetlands and rivers and the mechanisms regulating the dependency of organisms on these systems; ● Researching waterbird populations, their current status, habitat requirements and their role as indicators of river health; ● Spatial and temporal analysis of flow regimes of river systems and the relationship of these flows to the biota, including the impacts of river regulation; ● Identification of ecological values of unregulated rivers and linking of scientific research to management and policy development for river and wetland management; ● Improve the capacity to link research results in river systems to natural resource management and policy in other reserve types (e.g., terrestrial and marine systems); ● Dissemination of information through the media, electronic databases and other research outputs; and ● Strategic collaborative projects with industry (NSW Department of Environment and Climate Change; Murray-Darling Basin Commission).

new appointments within the year saw the CWI extend its postdoctoral, professional and academic staffing to the School of Mining Engineering, the Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre, and UNSW Law. Groundwater research at UNSW now has a truly multi-disciplinary team.
Centre for Marine Bio-Innovation (CMB) The Centre for Marine Bio-Innovation (CMB) is an international focal point for interdisciplinary basic and applied research into chemically mediated interactions between organisms. It drives research excellence in a number of platforms, including microbial biofilms and bacterial signalling, marine chemical ecology and prokaryote-eukaryote interactions, environmental and microbial genomics, colonisation biology of marine sessile organisms, novel antifouling technologies, bioremediation, inter-kingdom signalling and the bridge between environmental microbiology and engineering. These research platforms are based on understanding, in a mechanistic fashion, how chemical signals mediate the ecology, physiology and molecular biology of organisms, and the subsequent application of this knowledge to novel biotechnologies across environmental, industrial and medical settings. Based at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, the CMB integrates research across microbiology, marine chemical ecology, biodiversity, ecological theory, chemistry, and organism 16

and community genomics. The interdisciplinary nature of the Centre is made possible through its organisation and the collaboration between its home Schools of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Biotechnology and Biomolecular Sciences , and Chemistry.
Connected Waters The Connected Waters Initiative Research Centre (CWI) is UNSW’s Groundwater Research Centre. The CWI is a cross-faculty research grouping. At the start of 2012, staff were based in the Schools of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. However,
Our research in 2012 focused on our two largest and on-going research grants. Within the Australian Research Council and National Water Commission cofunded Centre for Excellence for Groundwater Research and Training (NCGRT), we reached and maintained full staffing capacity throughout 2012. The NCGRT team made numerous presentations of their research findings at the International Association of Hydrogeologists Congress in Canada and the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco. The second significant research grant managed by CWI throughout 2012 is the DIISRTE Groundwater Education Investment Fund (GEIF), supporting $15M of groundwater infrastructure over the period 2010 to 2013 for the establishment of
long term monitoring sites for groundwater research. In 2012, $4M of investment was made at research sites within NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Northern Territories. Within NSW, research focused on the completion of the major infrastructure program at the UNSW Wellington Field Station and the Namoi Valley and saw the commencement of a new infrastructure program at the UNSW Fowlers Gap Field Station. In September 2012, Ian Acworth stood aside from his position as Director, after six years of leading groundwater research at UNSW, firstly setting up the Connected Waters Initiative group (2006-2009) and then the Connected Waters Initiative Research Centre (20092012). The new team of Andy Baker (Director) and Martin Andersen (Associate Director), with the support of Tony Woo (Manager), aim to continue to build the groundwater research portfolio at UNSW. The year ended with exciting news that the CWI had been successful in obtaining CRIS funding for the Groundwater Education Investment Fund.
Ecology Research Centre E&ERC. The E&ERC was established in 2007 with nearly $1 million in funding from the Vice Chancellor’s Strategic Priorities Fund, with the aim of integrating and building UNSW’s diverse strengths at the EvolutionEcology interface that exist in three schools (BEES, Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences and Mathematics & Statistics).

Fowlers Gap - Activities Fowlers Gap Arid Zone Research Station is located 112 km north of Broken Hill, New South Wales. The Station is held by the University of New South Wales (UNSW) as a ‘lease in perpetuity’ for the purposes of research, grazing and tourism. The mission of the Station is to further understanding of the functioning of the arid zone of New South Wales through research, teaching, interpretation and knowledge diffusion in a pastoral context. The land has been monitored and data collected continuously, in some cases for over 40 years. During 2012 research and teaching remained strong, 14 different research groups and three university teaching groups visited and conduct research and/or field courses. Some of the more notable long term researchers to visit the station during 2012 were Dr Simon Griffith (Macquarie University) and Dr Andy Russell (University of Essex) who undertook their annual research field seasons on zebra finch, and chestnut babbler respectively. Dr Richard Peters (La Trobe University) and his research group visited the Station and undertook additional zebra finch studies. Dr David Dunkerley from Monash University
visited the Station with four students to study the hydrology of the arid areas, and a University of Adelaide group headed by Dr Gavin Rowel (University of Adelaide) looked at the incidence of infra-red radiation in the atmosphere. Dr Bill Buttemer (Monash University) and his research team undertook some genetic research on the diversity of arid zone birds. Dr Adam Munn (University of Wollongong), Dr Steve McLeod (Department of Primary Industry, NSW Government) and their research teams undertook a number of projects relating to subjects as diverse as macropods and feral goats, and Dr Leggett continued the small-mammal trapping project. Dr James Gilbert (University of Sydney) continued his long term study on thrips in Mulga trees. In addition, a group for the Australian Plague Locust Commission and Dr Kris French’s research group (University of Wollongong) began a study to examine the effects of commonly used locust pesticides on the invertebrate fauna of arid zones.
A group of advance science students from the School of BEES headed up by Dr Scott Mooney visited the station and conducted research on individual projects. A number of artists and students from the Arc @ COFA visited the Station and worked on various projects. In addition to its research and teaching function, Fowlers Gap also functions as a commercial sheep station, with the sheep population being maintained between 4,0004500 animals. Not only does this activity provide an income for the station to supplement costs associated with maintaining the research station, it provides an avenue for researchers to study a “real systems”. Fowlers Gap provides a location for researchers to examine ecosystems and their associated fauna and flora that have been impacted by the livestock industry in the arid areas of Australia.

Russell Bonduriansky Real male flies eat meat, too
New research from the Bonduriansky lab shows that eating plenty of protein (soy protein, actually) as a maggot makes adult males of the giant stilt-legged fly Telostylinus angusticollis more manly. This research is reported in a paper about to be published in the journal Functional Ecology. Stilt-legged males don’t develop broad shoulders, big biceps or a square chin (they don’t even have one) but, when supplied with plenty of protein to eat as maggots, they do develop their own peculiar “masculine” bodily features – larger and more elongated heads and antennae. Well-nourished males use their elongated heads as weapons in spectacular battles for control of prime real estate on the rotting bark of Acacia trees (or the compost heap in your back yard), where females (which have short heads) gather to feed and lay their eggs. Two males will literally pound each other with their heads until someone retreats. While we have known for some time that flies grow larger and develop more elongated heads when provided with abundant nutrients as larvae, work by Honours student Alex Sentinella and his academic supervisors Angela Crean and Russell Bonduriansky has revealed that protein is the key nutrient regulating the development of male morphology: eating lots of carbohydrates makes males larger, but without plentiful protein they cannot fully develop the masculine features that will allow them to win mating opportunities and sire offspring. Dietary protein appears to stimulate hormonal responses in the developing body of the maggot that cause some bodily tissues – the tissues destined to develop into the adult secondary sexual traits – to grow at an accelerated 26

This photo, taken in the Fred Hollows Reserve in Sydney, Australia, shows three males of the stilt-legged fly Telostylinus angusticollis on a branch. The striking variation in body size and shape seen in wild populations of this species mainly reflects variation in the abundance of nutrients that individuals encounter as larvae (photo: Russell Bonduriansky).
rate. Because these tissues grow faster than the rest of the body when maggots have plenty of protein to eat, the adults end up with disproportionately elongated heads and antennae. But it turns out that a maggot can’t have its cake and eat it too! While growing fast and (if male) developing a more masculine physique, maggots provided with protein-rich larval food are also far more likely to die before reaching adulthood than their brethren subsisting on a more modest, low-protein diet. In other words, maggots face a trade-off between their competitiveness as adults and their chances of ever reaching adulthood. Intriguingly, the effects of dietary protein on maggots seem to parallel protein’s effects on adult flies, and adult mammals too: abundant dietary protein enhances reproductive prowess at the cost of increased mortality. In maggots, dietary protein stimulates increased resource
investment in the development of adult body parts that play a role in male reproduction, but this comes at the cost of increased mortality. In adults, a protein-rich diet induces increased allocation of resources to reproductive functions, but also results in accelerated ageing and early death. The physiological effects of dietary protein thus remain remarkably consistent across the startling metamorphosis that transforms the homely maggot (whose sole job is to eat and grow) into the beautiful, reproductive adult. It remains unknown whether dietary protein has similarly conserved physiological effects from childhood to adulthood in mammals such as ourselves. And the take-home message is that, sadly, life is complicated even for a maggot.
Catherine Chagué-Goff, James Goff Charting Japan’s catastrophic tsunami legacy
AD Jogan sandy tsunami sediments – the predecessor to the 2011 - was comparable to that of the Tohoku-oki deposit. While it reflects the mineral composition of the deposit, it also indicates that the source of the material might be similar.
Figure 1: The 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami inundating the Sendai Plain, Japan. (Source: wordpress.api.com)
The 11 March 2011 Mw 9.0 megathrust earthquake off the East Coast of Japan was the fourth largest in the world since 1900. It generated a devastating tsunami that inundated hundreds of kilometres of the Pacific Coast of Honshu, reaching more than 5 km inland in some areas of the Sendai Plain, with a runup of ~40 m further north in the Sanriku region. The Tohoki-oki tsunami resulted in nearly 19,000 dead or missing, and caused extensive damage to houses, buildings and many types of infrastructure in east Japan. Near Sendai airport (Fig. 1), it inundated up to 4.85 km inland, but the recognisable sand deposit (>0.5 cm) could only be traced up to 2.9 km inland - only 60% of the inundation distance. Not surprisingly, this has cast doubt on interpretations of the magnitudes of previous tsunamis that have affected Japan, since they are mostly estimated based on the extent of the preserved sand deposit. At the limit of the sand deposit (2.9 km inland), the tsunami flow depth was 2 m (above the ground); it was still
deadly and destructive. However, there was a mud deposit up to 4.65 km inland - nearly 95% of the maximum inundation distance - with a distinct marine geochemical signal (chloride and sulphate, which are the main components of seawater and are present in much higher concentrations than in freshwater). Furthermore, using the same marine geochemical markers we were able to identify the limit of inundation up to the full extent of the tsunami – 4.85 km inland, two months after the event, in the absence of any sedimentological evidence. This exactly matched the inundation limit mapped by Japanese scientists immediately after the event, based on debris entrained by the tsunami. Follow-up surveys and analyses revealed that, although the marine geochemical signature was generally diluted due to rainfall, it was still retained in the fine-grained organic-rich sediments (mud) and underlying soil at least seven months after the tsunami, including sediments laid down beyond the extent of sand deposition. Equally, the chemical composition of the 869
This therefore suggests that geochemical indicators will be useful in identifying the extent of historical and palaeotsunamis by determining the marine origin of fine-grained sediments beyond the limit of recognisable sand deposition. This is particularly relevant, when other commonly used indicators, such as marine microfossils, are sparse or absent, as on the Sendai Plain, or are not well preserved, as reported in many studies of palaeotsunami deposits. This will allow researchers to redraw tsunami inundation maps and re-assess the magnitude of events not only in Japan but also elsewhere around the world. This has incredibly important implications for tsunami risk assessment, hazard mitigation and preparedness. We can only be prepared for what we know, and as the 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami showed, we didn’t know enough.

Daniel Robinson Biodiscovery access and benefit-sharing in the Pacific
Dr Daniel Robinson has been assisting a multi-national overseas development assistance delegation with the implementation of the Nagoya Protocol to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in the Pacific. To support this implementation, in 2012 Dr Robinson was commissioned to conduct a number of field-based case studies examining ‘biodiscovery access and benefit-sharing’ agreements. Underpinning the Nagoya Protocol is a desire to ensure that biodiscovery/bioprospecting R&D contributes to conservation and local communities and that it occurs through a transparent and fair process. Because some natural product-based pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, agri-biotech and other products can generate significant revenue and they are often sourced from the biodiverse ‘developing world’, the Nagoya Protocol (full title: Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization) seeks to ensure that benefit-sharing occurs with the providers of the original natural resource. This also means obtaining prior informed consent of the local and national providers of the ‘genetic resource’ and ‘associated traditional knowledge’ where relevant. These case studies formed a part of the Multi-Donor GIZ-led Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) Capacity-Development Initiative (with AusAID and DSEWPaC funding and support) which has extended their work from Africa to the Pacific and Caribbean. Dr Robinson was involved in several 28

The Mamala case (Figure 2) is one of the earliest and longest standing biodiscovery access and benefit-sharing arrangements and relates to research on a potential antiretroviral drug in the US.

Pacific workshops and capacitybuilding meetings supporting Nagoya Protocol ratification and implementation by individual countries. Dr Robinson is also now assisting community groups in their pursuit of Global Environment Facility (GEF) biodiversity small grants related to biotrade and ABS, as well as a larger GEF Nagoya Protocol Implementation Fund to support an existing ABS initiative. Specifically, the case studies were intended to highlight where benefits have been achieved for local communities and ‘traditional knowledge-holders’, where there have been positive conservation outcomes (or potential) as a result of benefit-sharing, and where lessons could be learnt for future biodiscovery R&D projects and the governments that regulate research access.
The case studies included: ● The Cook Islands Medical Technologies (CIMTECH) and Koutu Nui agreement, ● The International Cooperative Biodiversity Group (ICBG) Project between the University of Utah and the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG), ● The Santo 2006 Global Biodiversity Survey, Vanuatu, led by the French Museum of Natural History, and ● The Mamala case at the Faleolupo community in Samoa, involving the AIDS Research Alliance and University of Berkeley.
The case studies are outlined in the ABS Capacity Development Initiative: The Pacific. www.abs-initiative.info/404.html The CIMTECH – Koutu Nui Agreement relates to R&D on traditional Cook Islands herbal treatments for wounds or bone fractures. Subsequent research by Dr Graham Matheson (a Cook Islander researching at UNSW) led to the isolation of bioactive compounds with the potential for bone and wound healing, and also skin care applications. Dr Matheson obtained consent from an Indigenous cultural authority in the Cook Islands – the Koutu Nui – prior to the conduct of his research and established an agreement with them such that they would become shareholders in the company – CIMTECH. With the recent launch of their skin care products, the Koutu Nui stand to benefit from dividends in the company. This may support many of the charitable acts of the Koutu Nui, such as enforcement and maintenance of ‘Raui’ marine protected areas (see Figure 1 below), and aged care.

Malte Ebach Australasian biogeography
Ever since the late 1800s plant and animal geographers have asked questions about the natural biogeographical regions of Australia, New Zealand and New Guinea, their age and what Earth processes are responsible for forming them. The successors of these early naturalists are still investigating these same questions but in a very different context - life evolving on a very dynamic Earth. The acceptance of plate tectonics in the early 1970s saw a rapid development of tectonicsbased biogeography. Previously, questions about biogeographical regionalisation or bioregionalisation, championed by naturalists such as Alfred Russel Wallace almost 100 years ago, were dismissed as impossible. If our planet was divided into natural regions, how then did you explain the many anomalous distributions of fossil plants and animals? Why for instance are there strong biological ties between South America and Australia, or India and Madagascar? Moving continents provided an effective answer: our planet was always divided into natural biogeographical regions, which over time broke and dispersed.
Bioregionalsation Research in BEES Between 2012-2013, Malte C Ebach, ARC Future Fellow has published the first history of Australia’s bioregionalisation (Ebach 2012), which follows the development of bioregionalisation since the 1850s until the present day. As part of the ARC project, the first complete revision of all Australia’s plant, animal, freshwater and marine regions and sub-regions was published (Ebach et al. 2013). The revision defines all known areas using a diagnosis, description and type locality within an area classification, which may be modified like a modern biological
30
BEES ANNUAL REPORT 2012
taxonomy (e.g., species, genera, families). Such a classification system is highly flexible and can accommodate conflicting hypotheses, opening up Australian bioregionalisation to debate with a global audience. As part of his ARC Future Fellowship, Malte has developed the Austral Biogeographical Atlas (ABA), an interactive online bioregionalisation database, which will host a blog and regional editors. Biogeographers worldwide will have the opportunity to further develop and discuss Australasian bioregionalisation by joining an online community.
The development of the ABA underpins future research into the causes of bioregionalisation, in particular the role of palaeo-climate, neo-tectonics and geographical processes through time. Moreover, the bioregionalisation theme has created a biogeographical working group at UNSW (Malte C Ebach, Shawn Laffan and Gerry Cassis), which has attracted international attention through the 1st Austral Biogeographical Workshop held at UNSW in December 2012. The next workshop will be held later this year and the ABA will be ofďŹ cially released in May 2012 at www.bioatlas.info

Rob Brander Rip current research
Have you ever gone to the beach and jumped into a rip current just to see where it would take you? While that’s not responsible advice for the average beachgoer, many staff and students from the School of BEES did just that and much more related to the rip current hazard in 2012. Rip currents exist to transport water brought to shore by breaking waves back out to sea and are common features on most Australian surf beaches. Each year an average of 21 people are confirmed to drown in rips on our beaches although the actual number is suspected to be much higher. This exceeds the average annual number of fatalities due to other Australian hazards such as bushfires, cyclones, flooding and sharks combined! Yet we know little about how Australian rip currents behave. Do they transport water (and swimmers) well offshore or do they mostly recirculate within the surf zone?
32
BEES ANNUAL REPORT 2012
Indeed, a recent debate amongst scientists and beach safety practitioners about whether people caught in rips should swim parallel to the beach or simply stay afloat to escape them has received significant media attention. In 2012, a team of School of BEES researchers, led by Dr Rob Brander, embarked on an ARC Linkage Grant supported by industry partner Surf Life Saving Australia to learn more about rip current behaviour, the implications for swimmers, and how future rip current education can be improved to help save lives. This approach used a novel and unique multi-disciplinary approach involving elements of both coastal geomorphology and social geography. In order to understand how rip currents flow, field experiments were carried out throughout the year at Bondi Beach, Whale Beach and Cronulla Beach. School of BEES PhD candidate Jak McCarroll,
Honours student Ben van Leeuwen, Rob Brander and Associate Professor Ian Turner from the UNSW Water Research Laboratory and an excellent team of mostly UNSW student volunteers attached lowcost GPS to PVC drifters that were released in rip currents to measure the trajectory and speed of the rip current flow. At the same time during some of the experiments, swimmers with attached GPS entered the rips and tested out various escape strategies such as swimming parallel to the beach and staying afloat. While data from the field experiments have not yet been completed, preliminary results have clearly shown that rip current flow is extremely variable, unstable and almost impossible to predict to the average swimmer. While swimming parallel to the beach works sometimes, it can often be a coin-toss as to which direction will guarantee a successful escape from
the rip current. Similarly, floating can also carry people to the relative safety of shallow sand bars within minutes, but in some cases can result in people being carried more than 200 m offshore. These findings have provided conclusive evidence based support that no single rip escape safety message works under all conditions. This has major implications on how to educate beachgoers about the rip current hazard and strongly suggests that prevention is the best approach. However, we know very little about who is getting caught in rips, how they got caught, how they react, and how they escape. In order to learn more about the rip current experience Associate Professor Dale Dominey-Howes, Dr Danielle Drozdzewski, Dr Wendy Shaw and ARC Research Associate Amelia Roberts devised and distributed online and hardcopy surveys for people who had been caught in rip currents before. Over 1500 surveys
and 35 interviews were conducted in 2012 yielding valuable information about the demographics, knowledge and experiences of rip current survivors. This survey was also extended to New Zealand and the United States.
Figure 1 and 2: Drifter release, Shelly Beach
All aspects of the rip current project have generated significant interest amongst the Australian public and beach safety industry culminating in a segment on the ABC television show Catalyst in April, 2012. The value and importance of the project was also recognised by an award for best presentation at the 2012 Australian Water Safety Conference for ‘The RipSafe Project – a holistic approach to understanding the rip current hazard’. More experiments and surveys, including those with lifeguards and lifesavers about their experiences rescuing people caught in rips, are planned for 2013.

James Goff, Catherine Chagué-Goff and Mike Archer In search of Eltanin – an epoch-changing asteroid impact?
Artist’s impressions of asteroid impact (Source: http://www.sott.net)
Large asteroid impacts are rare, and those into the deep ocean are rarer still with the Eltanin asteroid being the only real candidate. Dating for the Eltanin asteroid impact has now been placed around 2.51±0.07 Ma, which is also the time of notable climatic and geological changes associated with the PliocenePleistocene boundary. Numerical models of the event indicate that a mega-tsunami was generated, although there is debate concerning its magnitude and the region-wide extent of its influence. We have examined the evidence for possible Eltanin mega-tsunami deposits, particularly in southern America, but also in Antarctica and New Zealand, while also highlighting other potential sites from locations around the Pacific region. One of the most compelling findings of this work is that the identification of potentially catastrophic mega-tsunami deposits is complicated by the fact that that this event took place around the same time as those associated
34
BEES ANNUAL REPORT 2012
with the climatically-induced Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary – a major Epoch-changing event. To date, the potential climatic and geological ramifications of the Eltanin asteroid impact have failed to be considered by climate change researchers studying this time period. In other words, what are currently considered to be sea level change records associated with conventional climate change interpretations may actually have been asteroid-induced and linked with a Pacific-wide mega-tsunami. While we are not advocating that all geological activity at that time is connected with the Eltanin asteroid impact, our study raises questions about the role played by such catastrophic events in contributing to or even triggering epochal transitions. Is it possible that the Eltanin megatsunami caused widespread erosion and sediment reworking and that the environmental consequences of
the asteroid impact led to a global climatic response? Aside from the immediate effects of a deep ocean impact such as the blast wave associated with the explosive vaporisation of water, the vast quantities of water (and sulphur) injected into the stratosphere would have had long term global weather and climate consequences. The effects of a moderately large deep ocean impact such as Eltanin may fall somewhere between that of a Mount Pinatubo eruption (multi-year depression of global temperatures by at least 0.5oC) and Chicxulub (a 2°C depression for 3 years or longer). The coincident timing of the Eltanin asteroid deep ocean impact and the Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary raises interesting questions about our interpretations of climatic and geological changes at that time. Was the asteroid too small to affect the climate and/or the geological record? What can we really expect
from a deep ocean impact as opposed to one in shallow water or on land? Are our attempts to unravel the complexity of the climatic and geological changes around the Pliocene-Pleistocene boundary using more conventional scenarios masking our ability to recognise a key catastrophic driver of environmental change? It is notable that while most of the research output related to the Eltanin asteroid has only been available over the past decade or so, these data have still, to a large extent, been ignored by recent climate change studies of events occurring around the PliocenePleistocene boundary. There are other fundamental issues at stake here though and it is important to remember that this time period also marks the start of the major Northern Hemisphere glaciations which had far reaching implications for hominin migration out of Africa. Unravelling the mystery that is the Eltanin asteroid impact therefore has as much to do about understanding a potentially Pacific-wide megatsunami as is does for the far reaching global effects of epochchanging climatic perturbations and ultimately about how it affected our ancestors. The first step is to find more evidence for the extent of the mega-tsunami and use this to chart the potential climatic ramifications of the asteroid impact.

Danielle Drozdzewski Charting the social, environmental and economic implications of migration: recent research in Human Geography.
Overview Migration is often solely thought of as the actual act of moving to a place. Recent research in human geography led by Dr Danielle Drozdzewski, has sought to extend this focus and explore the ‘before and after’ effects of migration. I have considered migration at different scales – international, domestic and regional – to answer the following questions: ● What happens to the places people are moving to? How do they change post-migration? ● What compels migration? Are these movements forced or voluntary? ● Can migration influence people’s sense of self, and their connection to community (ethnic and social)?
Case study examples:
meant that long-established and cherished rural characteristics are eroding. New rural residential land releases occur on agricultural land and promise rural vistas. The city centres are becoming more urban, with increasing evidence of a café and foodie culture. This research has explored how locals and in-migrants consider these changes to their regional towns. As the sample responses, from the interviews and focus groups below indicate, locals and the migrants themselves are concerned about the rate, and future extent of change and potential loss of rural ambience. We came to the Bathurst region because in the city you were just getting built out and built out and built out … then when we got here we found out they were doing the same thing here (Bathurst Focus Group #63, 2011).
I don’t like them [housing developments] because there seems to be ... a sameness about the housing... when you come into Bathurst ... you look at those new developments .... [and] all you see are the roofs of houses ... I don’t think it provides the most attractive environment to live in (Bathurst Focus Group #65). It’s become ... a bit more modern, more city-fied [sic], and less country town. I live out in the bush and I think, there’s no way you’d call the city of Orange bush, I could be in a suburb of Sydney (Orange Interview #24). What really concerns me [is that] they advertise Bathurst as the place to be, they advertise the rural beauty and it’s atmosphere and ... they are destroying it as fast as they can go (Bathurst Focus Group #63).
1. Treechange migration: Recently, the Central Western NSW towns of Orange and Bathurst have experienced increased population growth. This increased growth has come from ex-urban migrants from locations, such as Sydney and Newcastle, but also from smaller rural locales further west, such as Dubbo. For exurban, or ‘treechange’ migrants, these regional moves symbolise a break from city life and a search for a more wholesome and relaxed place to either raise a family or retire. Yet, the city influences these treechangers bring with them have

2. The Moken and Moklen’s migration and settlement patterns: The migration pathways of the Moken and Moklen communities in Thailand have been characterised by movements from a nomadic to a more settled livelihood. The Asian tsunami in 2004 further prompted many Moken and Moklen to settle in Phang Na Province north of Phuket Island. This settlement has changed their traditional fishing and subsistence livelihoods, as well as their cultural practices. With more dispersed communities, and now with Thai citizenship, many Moken and Moklen children cannot speak their Indigenous language and many others have been forced to look further afield for employment. The ability to maintain their ethnic identities, cultures and cohesiveness as specific communities has been effected by their migration.

Wendy Shaw A historical geography of cotton farming in NSW & Qld: Adaptation and adoption
I led a team of BEES researchers (Shaw, Drozdzewski, Cross and Wolifson) on this now completed project on the history of adaptation by the Australian cotton industry. It was funded by the Cotton Catchment Communities CRC (just over $200K). After completing the research project (final report: http:// www.cottoncrc.org.au/general/ Research/Projects/3_02_11), I was then commissioned to produce a commercial-quality documentary. Papermoose Creative/Productions produced a documentary DVD, titled ‘A life in cotton: The Birth of the Australian Cotton Industry’ (teaser at: http://vimeo.com/57344077), parts of which will be aired on ABC’s Landline program if all goes to plan. Overall, the research documented a historical geography of the rise of Australia’s modern cotton industry (1960s onwards), and its adaptations to changes over time. This research was about the rise and success, and some of the threats to cotton communities, across Australia. Adaptation and adoption were the keys themes of this research project – the Australian cotton industry has a fast-paced history of development in Australia, and it needed to be capable of rapid change. Cotton growers, associated research and development agencies, and cotton communities more broadly, have succeeded in building a worldleading industry based in part on the demonstrable capacity to adapt to local conditions, and test, adopt and deploy new technologies, as appropriate. Although not always 38
BEES ANNUAL REPORT 2012
a smooth journey, the adaptive capacity of the Australian cotton industry is notable, particularly from the early days of the modern industry. Although relatively new, this industry is recognised as a global leader, contributing $1.5 billion in export earning annually, and employing more than ten thousand people (Cotton Australia 2012). The overall aims of this project were to: 1. Identify how have farmers have adapted to cotton–growing in Australian conditions, over time and, how have cotton communities adapted over time. Many of the challenges experienced by cotton growers / communities have been detailed in the final report. 2. Document the strategies that farmers have used, in living memory, to adapt to: • Australian conditions; • changing technologies; • changing expectations in the wider community; • a ‘greener’ expectation of Australian agricultural practice; climate change policies; • the Federal Governments water license ‘buy–back’ scheme; and • other issues raised by cotton farmers /communities. 3. Identify and document case studies based on contacts made in 2; four in–depth case studies were conducted and provided in-depth detail about the challenges, adaptations and adoptive practices.
4. Produce consumable outputs to disseminate historical geography of Murray–Darling basin – for farmers and cotton producing communities, and a wider audience. The outputs included six–monthly reports, a final report and a documentary – a DVD version has been distributed throughout Australia’s cotton communities via the industry publication ‘Spotlight’. Further publications are underway. The main challenges faced by cotton farming communities, that have driven and enhanced adaptation and adoption capacities include: a range from extreme natural events, the availability of water and changes in water policy, pest and weed issues, environmental concerns, rapid changes in technology (including genetically modified cotton) (Cotton CRC, 2007) and socio-cultural challenges (Merrill and Pigram, 1984). Socio-cultural challenges have included the integration of farming cultures, overcoming inefficiencies in harvest transport, maintaining community connections, and forging researcher relationships with growers. A raft of foreseeable challenges include the vagaries of mining, particularly Coal Seam Gas mining, ongoing concerns about water security and pests/weeds, the uptake of new geneticallyengineered technologies and environmental consequences, and the increasing corporatisation of cotton growing. This research used a mix of social science data generation techniques,
including survey data generation, indepth interview texts and the inclusion of historical memorabilia, such as newspaper clippings, photos and old ďŹ lm footage. The recollections of many of the industry’s key players provided material that was recorded for the documentary DVD, which premiered at Narrabri, in New South Wales, in March 2012. This research project, and the documentary, have provided a starting point for future socio-cultural research projects on the cotton industry in Australia.

Changes to BEES Honours program
In 2012, the Honours program in BEES continued to build on the strengths of previous years. A total of 38 students completed their Honours year (8 midyear and 30 end of year) with 31 students receiving first class honours. A total of six students were nominated for a University Medal including Jacqueline Karras, Serena Lam, Monika Markowska, Rebecca Pian, Samiya Tabassum and Afida Yahya. Serena and Afida were both successful and were awarded UNSW medals. Honours students participated in a variety of coursework activities as part of their honours year including workshops and modules in ethics, writing and communication skills, professional development and careers. These were given by a variety of UNSW staff both from within BEES and also from centres such as the UNSW Learning Centre. The Alumni Panel was a success once again, with several BEES graduates returning to the school to discuss their experiences
and career paths with the current honours cohort. The alumni included Joel Albury, Martin Hing, Anne Miehs, Andrew Murrell and Laura Worthington. 2012 saw the completion of an extensive review of the BEES honours program with a revised model put to a full staff meeting in December. The proposed model incorporated even more focus on the research elements of the honours year whilst retaining the important professional skills elements. The proposed revision received overwhelming support at the meeting and was adopted in the format as shown in Table One. The new honours model will be implemented in Session One 2014.
