"New Research Predicts Landslide Boundaries Two Weeks before they Happen." R & D, 2018, pp. n/a. ProQuest Central, Research Library.[1]
This newspaper article covers a new software developed by the University of Melbourne that predicts in advance the locations of landslides. The article quotes Professor Tordesillas explaining the project and speaks to the significance of her research and its applications. I plan to use this information in the research and applications section.
Luntz, Stephen. "Moondust and Mars Soil Probed." Australasian Science, vol. Luntz, Stephen. "Moondust and Mars Soil Probed." Australasian Science, vol. 28, no. 4, 05, 2007, pp. 42.[2]
This article from the reliable Australian science magazine "Australasian Science" talks about how Nasa invited mathematicians from the Melbourne University to help prepare for the future space landings by creating models of the soils of Mars and the Moon. It provides some quotes by Professor Tordesillas as well as some more detailed commentary of her work. I plan to use the information in the research and applications section to speak of her significant contributions to her field and notability.
Piera, Ebony. "Scratching the Surface of Human Life on the Moon; Science: [First Edition]." The Age, Sep 29, 2006, pp. 3. ProQuest.[3]
This newspaper article describes the efforts of eight Australian mathematicians led by Dr Tordesillas in using mathematical modeling and simulated materials to determine how the moon and Mars would react to drilling, digging and building. It mentions her collaboration with NASA as well as her conclusion that this research has additional significance as it can be used to address the unpredictabilities of some of Australia's main export industries. I plan to use this information in the research and applications sections. I might also use it in the career section to cite her professional role at her university as mentioned in the article and possibly mention a collaboration with NASA.
Perry, Louise. "A World in Every Grain of Sand - Budget '04: The Research Agenda: [1 all-Round Country Edition]." The Australian, May 12, 2004, pp. 32. ProQuest.[4]
This newspaper article describes a breakthrough in research led by Dr. Tordesillas that permits one to predict the behavior of granular materials. The article goes into more detail about her model that allows a high-resolution picture of individual granules and contains quotes from Dr. Tordesillas about her work. It also mentions the funding fro this research which comes in part from the US Army's Research Office out of an interest in the effect of off-road heavy vehicles on soil erosion and how to avoid this result. I plan to use this information in the research and applications section as another instance of her research having significant real-world applications and significance.
This website is a profile for Dr. Tordesillas that outlines her basic areas of research, major career highlights, and significant contributions to the field of applied mathematics. In addition to providing specifics about her current position, it also lists her published papers, awards, and credentials. I plan to use the information about her published articles in the published works section, the career and education information in the career/education section, and the information about her areas of research and major projects in the research and applications section.
"WIPO Publishes Patent of the University of Melbourne, Peter Joseph Scales, Antoinette Tordesillas, Anthony Dirk Stickland, Robin John Batterham for 'Improvements in Communication and/or RemovalL of Liquid from a Material' (Australian Inventors)." US Fed News Service, Including US State News, Jan 19, 2013. ProQuest.[6]
This article published by the US Fed News Service gives the details of a patent jointly filed by Dr Tordesillas and three other scientists. This patent was for the comminution and/or removal of liquid from a material, an invention discovered by these four scientists. I plan to use this information in the research and applications section to give concrete and relabel information about specific research she has carried out.
"Tests for Future Space Colonies: [1 First Edition]." Herald Sun, Oct 03, 2006, pp. 22. ProQuest.[7]
This article is a very short but reliable newspaper article from the Herald Sun. It states that Dr. Tordesillas is leading a team in testing simulated space soil to examines its reaction to stresses such as being drilled, dug up or built on. This information is cohesive with information in other article, so I plan to use it to further very the facts about this research in cooperation with NASA in the research and applications section. The article also quotes Dr. Tordesillas and expresses her belief atet this research is critical for any potential plans for humans to venture to Mars.
"Tool to Predict Building Collapse, Landslides 2 Weeks in Advance." IANS English, Aug 16, 2018. ProQuest.[8]
This newspaper article covers the model created by Dr. Tordesillas and her colleagues that can predict a building collapse in advance using information about individuals granules of earth. Th article quotes Dr. Tordesillas about this project and explains how it combines applied mathematics and big data analytics to analyze intricate ground motion patterns and track and predict the locations and times of landslides. I plan to use this information along with other news coverage of this breakthrough in the research and applications section to describe her significant contribution to her field and the world.
"University of Melbourne: Slope Stability Model can Help Prevent Landslides to Protect Communities and Save Lives." Targeted News Service, May 25, 2021. ProQuest.[9]
This news article describes the Spactiotemporal Slope Stability Analytics for Failure Estimation model created by Professor Antoinette Tordesillas and Professor Robin Batterham. This model analyzes slope satiability over time to predict landslides and avalanches. The article quotes Dr. Tordesillas and expresses the goal that the model will be able to reduce the dangers of landslides in the face of climate change through incorporation in early warning systems. I plan to use this information in the research and applications section.
This website is the ORCID profile for Antoinette Tordesillas. It lists all her published article up until its last update in December of 2022. I plan to use this information in the publications section to locate and identify her published work. I might also use it in the career or research section to communicate how many papers she has published and the wide scope of her important contributions to the field do f applied mathematics.
