The ARMF willsupport research to assess the extent and effects of changing climate, water and fire regimes on ecosystem processes and their feedbacks and provide a structure for integrated research, management and governance of Australia's mountains.

All domains of modern biology are increasingly dependent on computation and this dependence on algorithms is most readily apparent in the disciplines that utilise genetic data.

This project is looking to install the C4 pathway from maize into rice, to supercharge photosynthesis and increase crop yeilds.
It is part of a C4 rice international consortium of labs, and is funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

A primary biosecurity threat to the Australian wheat industry is Zymoseptoria tritici, a fungal pathogen. Research is currently underway to understand how the pathogen interacts with wheat and causes disease. Opportunities exist for students at all levels to become involved in this project.

Capacity to regenerate varies among animals, with “simple” animals, such as sponges, cnidarians and planarians often having higher regenerative capacity than the more complex ones, including insects and mammals.

This project aims to improve understanding of the capacity for resilience and response to warming and drying conditions and extreme events in vulnerable alpine communities: interacting suites of alpine plants, soil invertebrates, fungi, and microbes.
