Griffith University supports the Sustainable Development Goals
A rising global population and a strong coupling between economic development and consumption have led to the depletion of resources and the generation of waste at an unprecedentedly rapid rate. As the amount of solid waste to be disposed of increases, the number of available landfills decreases, concerns about risks…
An international collaboration with the industry to investigate and optimize the wave energy convertors paired with different sites for future wave energy farm’s design/site selection…
Undergraduate course on Catchment Hydrology which is core in BEng (Civil) and BEng (Environmental) Water supply and flood mitigation is taught in the form of flood frequency analysis and flood routing through reservoirs for flood mitigation and sequent peak analysis to ananalyse a water supply reservoir. These are taught and…
High-frequency water quality monitoring technology has considerably improved in the last decade. New generation optical sensors allow for reliable, in-situ monitoring, with real-time data often remotely accessible through the cloud. Since 2020, two mobile water quality stations have been built, consisting of trailers with solar panels, batteries, pumps and sensors;…
An international collaboration to collate and analyse all available ocean wave climate projections to quantify projected changes and asscoaited levels of uncertainty…
Martensitic Ti6Al4V samples were fabricated by laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing, water quenching of wrought and the additively manufactured Ti6Al4V samples respectively, their microstructural characteristics, tensile properties and deformation behaviours have been investigated in this study. These samples showed differences in grain orientations, size of the prior β grains,…
This book is the brainchild of the lead author (Dr. Ong), who subsequently invited his peers, ex-PhD students and current PhD students to collaborate and contribute to writing a geotechnically-advanced book that encompasses the authors’ and contributors’ research and practical experiences gained principally on sustainable & innovative construction of green…
Cleaner production and circular economy can bring overlapping benefits to business performance by simultaneously increasing profitability, efficiency, competitiveness, and environmental performance. Harnessing the economics of sustainable consumption and production that can drive these benefits requires expertise in understanding, communicating, and then applying complex ideas and strategies. In this course, students…
This Short Course engaged participants from the Government of Indonesia, officials and private sector representatives involved in the development and oversight of waste-to-energy (WTE) projects. The aim of the short course was to analyse the commercial viability of different types of WTE operations, identify factors that affect viability, study the…
For the Thomas Jack Park Redevelopment project, Griffith Architecture aims to redesign the the Thomas Jack Park in order to benefit the local community by creating an appealing space for tourism and local use. Through the redesign of this natural area, the team is reinforcing the identity of the space…
