An Atlas Of Foraminifera, Ostracoda And Micro-Molluscs Around Lord Howe Island And Middleton Reef, Iradj Yassini, Brian G. Jones

University of Wollongong research publications

The Lord Howe seamount chain on the western margin of Zealandia some 580 km off the east coast of Australia provides a suitable habitat for the growth of the southernmost coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean. The shelves around Middleton Reef, Lord Howe Island and Balls Pyramid represent carbonate depositional environments where calcareous microfossils are common and generally well preserved. While many of the organisms were originally carried to the islands by an offshoot from the East Australian Current, thus having many species in common with eastern Australia, the islands also exhibit a number of endemic species that have evolved …

A Systematic Review Of Programs And Models Used To Mentor Young People Of African Origin In Australia And Other Parts Of The World, Jacob Mugumbate, Lynne Keevers, Jioji Ravulo

University of Wollongong research publications

Interest And Influence - A Snapshot Of The Western And Central Pacific Tropical Tuna Fisheries, Quentin A. Hanich

There are 89 States and territories that have some form of current or historical interest in the tropical tuna fisheries (i.e., bigeye, yellowfin and skipjack) of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO). However, only 14 of them ultimately control access to the most productive fishing grounds and the vessels that fish in them.

Giftedness From An Indigenous Perspecitve, Wilma Vialle

University of Wollongong research publications

One of the biggest challenges for the field of gifted education is to ensure that our identification procedures, programs, curriculum models, and educational practices are: 1. supported by the best research evidence available; 2. inclusive of all social and cultural groups; and, 3. respectful of different knowledge and belief systems. Giftedness is not a static construct. Over the course of the twentieth century, we have observed a shift from views that conflated giftedness with IQ to the broader and dynamic perspectives reflected in Gagné’s (2003) Differentiated Model of Giftedness and Talent, Sternberg’s (2003) model of successful intelligence, Gardner’s (1983) theory …

He has now turned his strategic focus to good things, looking for common patterns in what it takes to protect and promote them. Some of his topics are familiar, like writing and happiness. Others are less well known, such as citizen advocacy and chamber music. …

Recent Foraminiferida And Ostracoda From Estuarine And Shelf Environments On The Southeastern Coast Of Australia, Iradj Yassini, Brian G. Jones

University of Wollongong research publications

The southeastern coastal zone of Australia includes several types of estuarine habitats, which are distinctly different from most northern hemisphere counterparts. These differences relate, in particular, to the extreme dryness of the continent, the extremely variable and small river discharges, and the microtidal conditions. Estuarine and shallow shelf environments along the coast of New South Wales exhibit a rich and well diversified foraminiferal and ostracod fauna, which have not yet been fully documented. Compared to the European or American coastlines, the taxonomy and ecology of the foraminiferid and ostracod fauna from the Australian shallow marine environment are poorly described and …
