Charles Darwin University,
James Cook University, University of Queensland,
Adelaide University, Cambridge University and Lancaster University, all of whom were instrumental in developing the project. Post-graduate research students have included Toby Smith (UQ, PhD), Mia Derhé (Lancaster, doing PhD), Tegan Whitehead (Hons, JCU), Mason Campbell (JCU, finishing PhD), Anthony Moore (CDU, Hons), Sophie Connors (UQ, Hons), Lachlan Charles (UQ, Hons, doing PhD) and Gabriela Hidrobo Unda (JCU, MSc -HD). The other Key Partners, without whom the project would never have started are Stanwell Corporation, Greening Australia, and
