As diverse as these stories are, they are just a peek at the significant volume of research carried out at RIEL through our projects. We invite you to connect with us throughout the year to find out more about the diversity and impact of the research carried out by RIEL researchers and partners.  \nIn 2023, our research was funded by $37.1 million in active projects, including $11.2 million in external research income for new projects. One notable new project funded under the Australian Research Council Linkage scheme was ‘Improving desert fire management with culturally directed science’, which received more than $744,000 in funds. Other key examples were the‘Water Security for Northern Australia Program’, which received a grant of $1.7 million for its implementation phase, and ‘Integrating emerging aviation technology into ghost-net detection, survey, and retrieval operations around the Groote Archipelago’ led by the North Australian Centre for Autonomous Systems  \n(NACAS) which was awarded more than $399,000 .
