ACT Community will have an understanding of how to manage their environment to keep their waterways clear and free of algal blooms, and the ACT government will have an ongoing program to deliver to their

The aims of this project are to investigate the occurrence and fate of microplastics (a class of contaminant of emerging concern) in treated sewage sludge (biosolids), and the effects that they may have on soils and crops. This has been done by analysing microplastics in biosolid and agricultural soil receiving… Read More

The project was commissioned by WWF to help prioritise funds and activities for improving mangrove management and restoration globally.

This project was established as there was no data showing that wetlands were crucial for improving the water quality in the Great Barrier Reef.

This project aims to assess the ecosystem services and disservices from a constructed coastal wetland used to offset nitrogen inputs into Moreton Bay.

The goal is to monitor the restoration of a wetland through tidal inundation of an unused paddock as a pilot project to assess the feasibility of blue carbon projects.

This project aims to develop a novel framework that uses big data from satellites to assess the impacts of droughts and water extraction on groundwater resources in Australia, currently poorly understood and difficult to monitor. This project expects to generate new insights into the mechanisms driving changes in groundwater availability… Read More

The purpose for this project is to update the existing hydrodynamic-microbial models for the Mid-Brisbane River with the latest three-year data from 2020 to 2022. These three years are particularly wet than other years and represent an opportunity to better understand the microbial conditions in the river system during a… Read More

The objective of this project is to develop, complete, and publish a set of best practice guidelines for lake modelling to support Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment and to apply the best practice guidelines to develop a lake model for one reservoir operated by Hunter Water. This objective underpins the water… Read More
