From the Cosmic Web to the Bar: The Multiscale Drivers of Galaxy Spin Evolution
Published 2026The assembly and evolution of angular momentum in galaxies is shaped by a combination of internal and external processes. Integral field spectroscopy has revolutionised our ability to study stellar kinematics across thousands ...Open AccessThesis -
Modelling the mechanisms underlying variable spatiotemporal cortical response dynamics
Published 2026Elucidating how the brain's diverse repertoire of neural dynamics emerges from its fixed anatomical structure, known as the `structure--function relationship', remains a challenge in macroscale neuroscience. While progress ...Open AccessThesis -
The economics of targeting systemic drivers of mental health using dynamic simulation modelling
Published 2026The objective of this PhD research project was to use system dynamics modelling (SDM) to conduct economic evaluation of mental health interventions through the application of the approach to three case studies. A literature ...Open AccessThesis -
Carbonate Platform and Coral Reef Response to Environmental Perturbations: Insights from Scott Reef North West Shelf Australia
Published 2026Coral reefs preserve important archives of past sea-level and climatic change due to their depth-dependent growth, good preservation potential, and ability to be precisely dated using U–series techniques. Isolated carbonate ...Open AccessThesis
