The use of seaborne imagery
to determine water quality
Student:
Cathryn Chipchase
Supervisor: J. Leach
Abstract:
The project aim was to determine if Total
Suspended Solids and turbidity can be measured using data from underwater
photographs. The implied results of this study were that if the
NTU is above 1 this methodology will work, however further testing
would be required.

Mapping the shallow sea floor
environment
Student:
Michael McGoldrick
Supervisor: J. Leach
Abstract:
The study was designed to determine if the
spectral reflectance values found from a satellite image corresponded
to the depth of a region, the seabed composition, or a combination
of the two.

CD ROM catalogue of the William
Salthouse
Student:
Iestyn Polley
Supervisor: J. Leach
Abstract:
The project included the creation of a multimedia
application distributed on CD-ROM that showcased the shipwreck of
the William Salthouse in Port Phillip Bay. The application presented
a range of information about the wreck, including its history, conservation
efforts and detailed imagery of the wreck itself. Data for this
project was supplied by Heritage Victoria.

Survey, mapping and environmental
analysis of a bauxite residue disposal area
Student:
Gregor Sanders
Supervisor: J. Cazanis & J. Leach
Abstract:
The research looked at environmental and
topographical data to investigate the spatial variability of vegetation
cover on a capped mud pond. The mud is a waste product of processing
bauxite into alumina, therefore, environmental considerations were
extensive.

Mapping of the shallow sea
floor environment
Student:
Steven Taylor
Supervisor: J. Leach
Abstract:
Nepean Bay was the study area for this project.
Satellite imagery was used in conjunction with video data to investigate
the sea floor habitat.

Can the shape of dolphin
dorsal fins be used as a unique identifier of individuals?
Student:
Irene Williams
Supervisor: C. Ogleby
Abstract:
Dolphin dorsal fins are thought to be as
unique as human fingerprints. Therefore, to aid in identification,
the study tested existing ID ratios for their robustness (in terms
of impact of the angle of indicence etc). These ratios were compared
to identifiers created from more complex curve fitting techniques.
Imagery for this project was supplied by the Dolphin Research Institute.

Monitoring submerged sandbars
in the Rye region of Port Phillip Bay, using remote sensing
Student:
Piers Bjerkhamn
Supervisor: J. Leach
Abstract:
The project aim was to develop a system for
monitoring the position and movement of sandbars in the Rye region.
The project involved analysis of a Landsat TM image, including ratios
and classification techniques to determine depths. Current monitoring
methods were also outlined and the results compared. The results
indicated that the methods used to create depth models provided
a simple method for obtaining and monitoring water depths and changes
in depth over time.
