Marnda Gardairri: Facilitation of an Indigenous Ranger Rock Art Workshop

The Marnda Gardairri Indigenous Rangers Workshop was held from 3–5 October 2017 on the Burrup Peninsula in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The event, which was hosted by the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation (MAC), brought together rangers from across Australia to discuss rock art conservation and management. The workshop was given the title ‘Marnda Gardairri’ as this means rock scratching/engraving on the Burrup Peninsula. The workshop was developed by MAC in collaborative partnership with Rio Tinto Iron Ore-Pilbara Operations and the Nulungu Research Institute (The University of Notre Dame Australia). Rio Tinto and Woodside Petroleum funded the workshop, with Mel Marshall and Lynley Wallis of Nulungu engaged to coordinate and facilitate the event, assisted by Kate Golson.https://researchonline.nd.edu.au/nulungu_insights/1002/thumbnail.jp

‘Rock Art Conservation and Management: Doctoral research into contemporary approaches’

Currently, Mel is pursuing doctoral research through the Australian National University which examines Rock Art conservation and management across Northern Australia at sites in Kakadu National Park, Western Arnhem Land on Mirarr Country and the West Kimberley Region. Over the past five years, Mel has investigated current trends and the importance of monitoring sites of cultural importance. She has also addressed the significance of conservation and management; in response to pressing issues impacting on this practice which include the pressures of global population growth, associated development and resource demands, the lack of government legislative support to protect heritage sites and increased environmental pressures relative to Climate Change. Mel will provide an overview of these issues and present the outcomes of her research findings to date

Science Not Communicated is Science Not Done: Present Your Science Powerfully

Great communication ignites a chain reaction. Discussion: Identify the best presenter of science that you have seen. What made that speaker so effective? To excel in your presentations, you will need content , passion, and a sharp sense of the audience. Science not communicated is science not done. Presenting your science powerfully requires mastery of three skills: Be Audience Centered, Filter and focus, Show your science Becoming an audience focused speaker is one of the most powerful skills you can adopt. Returning to points of common ground satisfies audiences of different technical backgrounds. Successful technical presentations require you to filter your details for your audience. Focus your content by considering first the most important message for your audience. To identify critical points for the talk, first consider the view you want the audience to have at the end. A good planning technique for filtering detail is to consider where you want your audience to end up and build the path from there. If audiences try to process too many words simultaneously, cognitive overload occurs. People learn much more deeply from words and relevant images than from words alone.

Predicting Emerald Ash Borer, \u3ci\u3eAgrilus Planipennis\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), Landing Behavior on Unwounded Ash

Detection of emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), an invasive forest pest, is difficult in low density populations war- ranting continual development of various trapping techniques and protocols. Understanding and predicting landing behavior of A. planipennis may assist in the further development of trapping techniques and improvement of trapping protocols for widespread survey programs in North America. Three multiple regression models were developed using ash tree vigor and crown light exposure to predict the landing behavior of A. planipennis. These models were then used to predict the landing density of A. planipennis at separate sites and in separate years. Successful prediction of A. planipennis capture density at the test sites was limited. Even though the multiple regression models were not effective at predicting landing behavior of A. planipennis, tree characteristics were used to predict the likelihood of A. planipennis landing. Trees predicted as having high likelihood of landing had 3.5 times as many A. planipennis adults/m2 on stem traps than trees predicted as having low likelihood of landing. While the landing density of A. planipennis may not be efficiently predicted, the utility of these predictions may be in the form of identifying trees with a high likelihood of A. planipennis landing. Those high likelihood trees may assist in improving existing detection programs and techniques in North American forests

Profit over culture: The representation of satellite signal theft in the Canadian press.

Satellite signal theft is a significant problem as it threatens Canadian culture. Canadian programming is not available on American satellite dishes and Canadian television service providers are losing money to the illegal satellite market. The coverage of satellite signal theft in the Toronto Star, National Post and the Ottawa Citizen revealed that satellite signal theft is negatively impacting the profits of Canadian television service providers. By conducting a critical discourse analysis of the articles that covered this topic it is evident that the newspapers were effective in portraying satellite signal theft in a negative manner through repeated pirate and drug references to deter audiences from participating in this illegal activity. Through the examination of the background, lexical style, competition, statistics, counter-power and the policy, satellite signal theft emerged as a topic presented to further the interests of the owning parties, reinforcing a political economic perspective. The threat to Canadian culture was only used when legal satellite dish and cable providers needed to strengthen the industry position against satellite signal theft resulting in profit over culture.
