Griffith University supports the Sustainable Development Goals
The Transport Academic Partnership (TAP) is a $3.7 million agreement between the Department of Transport and Main Roads, the Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC), Queensland University of Technology (QUT), Griffith University (Griffith) and University of Queensland (UQ). The TAP agreement aims to build mutual transport capability within the university sector,…
In a South Pacific context, this project aims to develop and disseminate a model of tourism that balances economic, social and environmental objectives. In addition to creating new knowledge in tourism and sustainable development, expected outcomes include an enduring community of practice, a suite of tools, guides and policy briefs…
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…
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…
The project explores: (1) the potential of music, especially “traditional” music, to contribute to poverty reduction efforts, and (2) the relationships between poverty and the sustainability of musical and other cultural expressions. In its first phase, the project worked with youth musicians in Cambodia to gauge their experiences and perspectives…
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…
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…
Uni Life is a program run by a charity, the Centre for Inclusive Supports Inc. It is a day program for young adults to transition out of secondary school and into work or study over two to three years. It is based at a university campus where students and…
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,…
