Aims. To compare species distribution models, SDMs, for humpback whales in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park based on different opportunistic sightings datasets and evaluate the impact different sources of opportunistic data have on our understanding of humpback whale habitat relationships.

In close partnership and co-development with the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP), the Antarctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AnMAP) will serve as a science-policy body facilitating sufficient and reliable pollution data from the Antarctic and Southern Ocean region…

We provide the City of Gold Coast with monitoring, analytical, and interpretive services through a Receiving Environment Monitoring Program (REMP). The aim of the REMP is to provide a structured, robust and repeatable water quality monitoring program to monitor impact of the release of recycled water generated by the City’s…

The Climate Change Adaptation programs are designed to give professionals from any background a sound interdisciplinary knowledge of climate change, the ability to analyse its impacts, and the creative skills needed to build resilience across society and the environment. This includes the ability to develop and deploy adaptation strategies to…

This course offers students the opportunity to develop an understanding of how policymaking and planning can used to develop effective responses to the problem of climate change. A cross-section of adaptation and mitigation policies and plans are analysed, from the international to the national, state and local levels of government.

This activity involves participating in the organising committee of the IAEA Fusion Energy Conference held every 2 years. The aim is to assist international fusion energy research assemble the program for each upcoming conference and decide on presentations, priorities, and logistical matters for running the meeting.

The project goal is determining the role of coastal wetlands in removing dissolved inorganic nitrogen and thus, improving the water quality of the Great Barrier Reef. To test this at the landscape scale, we conducted nutrient fluxes measurements in the Moresby, a small catchment where 33% of it is cultivated…

This project aims to enhance the yield of microalgal cultivation and harvesting processes by implementing a high-efficiency culture platform. Microalgae is a sustainable food source for human as it provides nutrients critical for wellbeing with minimal ecological impact. Commercial microalgae cultivation methods require immense water and land use due to…

Our team has identified new anti-Giardia compounds with potent and selective activity against drug sensitive and resistant parasites. These compounds have in vivo activity and behave synergistically when combined with other compounds. The aim of our work is to end treatment refractory giardiasis thereby improving health and well-being on a…

This course introduces students to the concept of environmental sustainability and how it can be used to solve real world problems. It explores the relationships between the natural, rural, industrial, and urban environments, and includes the study of the impact humans have upon nature. The course also considers the way…
