Lion Island Little Penguin
There is a lack of current data on the breeding success and health of the Little Penguin population at Lion Island more generally. This information is of importance as the population is a satellite population of the Manly Endangered Little Penguin Population, and health and breeding status can indicate wider population trends in Little Penguins in the Sydney area.

Koalas back into severely burnt forest
The key objective of this project is to map the movement patterns and identify the home ranges of koalas as they recolonise an intensely burnt forest in the immediate aftermath of the fire.

Impact of Bushfires on Koalas
Study to determine the impact of bushfire and clearing on koalas. Initial focus of the project was to map movement patterns and home ranges of Port Stephens koala populations as they recolonised after bushfires, followed by the study of the koalas use of burnt and unburnt bush, the selection of vegetation types and their ability to recolonise after bushfires.

The Great Koala Count
The Great Koala Count was a citizen science initiative that took place across six local government areas (LGAs) in New South Wales. The aim of the project was to gather information about koalas, including their distribution, abundance, and the threats they face. The results of the study provided valuable insights into the state of koalas in these areas.

Genetic Code of Koalas
A team of Australian and international scientists, led by Professor Rebecca Johnson, Director of the Australian Museum Research Institute and Professor Katherine Belov, University of Sydney, have made a significant break-through successfully sequencing the full koala genome. Considered to be the most complete marsupial genome sequenced to date, it is in terms of quality, on par with the human genome.
