Cementitious gel: the missing link in understanding the ageing of built infrastructure. Exposure of built reinforced concrete infrastructure to coastal environments causes premature ageing, unplanned remediation and reduced safety. Enhanced forecasting, achieved by advanced methods, including Helium Ion Microscopy and modeling interactions between cement gel, chloride and water, will deliver proactive management of ageing assets.
Frontiers of Australian science popularisation. This project details Australia's role in science popularisation in the 1960s and 1970s, when the boundary between science fiction and science fact was often blurred. The project will explore how popular science of that era framed today's crucial issues of climate change, overpopulation and space exploration.
