News from ACEMS

What happens when you give an interesting Secret Santa maths problem to a group of mathematicians? Here's how it played out at a recent ACEMS Mathscraft workshop - thanks Dr Rheanna Mainzer, from The University of Melbourne, for writing this wonderful story in The Conversation.

ACEMS is excited to welcome three new Partner Investigators as ACEMS Members. They are Dr Juan Ortiz from the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences (AIMS), Dr Petra Kuhnert from CSIRO, and Dr Anders Holmberg from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

A trio of researchers supported by ACEMS wins the 2019 Gavin Brown Prize for best paper at the annual AustMS Conference.

Congratulations to the following ACEMS members for their success in getting a Discovery Project Grant from the Australian Research Council.

The Academy for Social Sciences in Australia awards ACEMS Associate Investigator David Frazier a Paul Burke Award for Early Career Research for his work and research in statistics and econometrics.

The Australian Research Council released its Discovery Early Career Researcher Awards for 2020, and three ACEMS researchers are on that list. They are Dr.

One of the biggest threats to the Great Barrier Reef is pollution from land making its way downstream by way of the many rivers and streams that flow into coastal waters along the reef. New statistical tools developed by ACEMS researchers could lead to the deployment of more low-cost sensors to monitor what is in those rivers and streams.

A new QUT-led study has developed a statistical toolbox to help avoid seagrass loss which provides shelter, food and oxygen to fish and at-risk species like dugongs and green turtles.

The research has been published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution describing key monitoring and management designs to maximise seagrass resilience to human activities, to better inform seagrass dredging operations and development of coastal areas.

ACEMS Associate Investigator Giang Nguyen was named a South Australian Tall Poppy.
