Life Below Water

This project developed a methodology to identify the best strategies to finance (through blended finance) the delivery of water and sanitation services in developming countries. This was designed for use by Development Partners, such as the Australian Government.

Provided technical advice and support to Habitat for Humanity Fiji’s rural water, sanitation and hygiene program (WASH), in 20 communities. The program is improving access to, and management of water and sanitation services in villages and in schools. Our IWC-GU project reviewed the program delivery design, assisted withteh redesign of…

Synthetic N-fertiliser is a foundation of modern agriculture; however, its efficiency is often only 50%, leading to nutrients runoff into nearby creeks, causing e.g. eutrophication and fish kill events. Nitrogen pollution and climate change constitute the two greatest risks to the survival of the GreatBarrier Reef (GBR). To address N…

Climate Ready Australia 2030 (CRA2030) brings together partners from across society to drive climate action in Australia. We have assembled a growing alliance of peak bodies that we work with to identify common priorities for their sectors and members. These priorities have underpinned the development of a robust…

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 online short course engaged participants from South Asia, North Africa and the Pacific. The program explored climate change mitigation and adaptation, with a specific focus on best practices in water resources management (WRM) and water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) for achieving water security outcomes. The course included twelve modules…

This PhD research “Growing Living Islands- an Architectural toolbox” is exploring methods for developing symbiotic islands that adapt to the environment, living organisms and people’s needs. The research combines artificial island construction, artificial reef construction and environmental assessment to develop conceptual methods for constructing islands based on the environment first…
