Life on Land

This project will involve community surveys, and co-design session will inform program implementation. A follow up survey will conducted after implementation to assess program effectiveness, changes in attitudes, perceptions or behaviour…

Measure the effectiveness of VMS for drivers to slow down in koala conservation areas. Assess the effectiveness of an awareness campaign to improve residents’ attitudes, awareness, and knowledge towards koalas in their community. Examine how response to koala conservation initiatives improves when citizens are exposed to and participate within multiple…

To evaluate the community response to motion activated turtle sensitive lighting at two loggerhead nesting beaches; establish the community support for the investment in light pollution reduction; and use the findings as a basis of support for further social marketing for behaviour change.

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…

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

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…

As efforts to restore coastal habitats accelerate, it is critical that investments are targeted to most effectively mitigate and reverse habitat loss and its impacts on biodiversity. One likely but largely overlooked impediment to effective restoration of habitat-forming organisms is failing to explicitly consider non-habitat-forming animals in restoration planning, implementation,…

This project was part of a CSIRO project aimed to investigate how the contaminants (including microplastics) in biosolid behave when treated with soldier flies . The aim of microplastic testing was to determine the fate of plastic in the larvae process. As plastic can be ingested by larvae this project…

“This project aimed to 1) establish a baseline for the quantity, size, and identity of microplastics in recycled organics outputs derived from feedstocks containing FO, GO, and FOGO. 2) Assess risk of microplastics found in recycled organics derived from feedstocks containing FO, GO and FOGO against human health, ecological health,…
