Griffith University supports the Sustainable Development Goals
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… Read More
“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,… Read More

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… Read More
My project aims to build national scale monitoring programs of the wildlife we love (African lions, elephants, leopards etc.). These monitoring programs give us an idea of the pulse of these populations and how they respond to conservation action. A key way to achieve resilient conservation monitoring at scale is… Read More

Community forum to showcase some of the koala-based research occurring at Griffith and initiatives from local and state government.
Our research investigates how to improve climate change adaptation responses with a particular focus on the transitioning and repurposing of properties (otherwise known as managed retreat or planned retreat). We address three main research questions: 1. What are the key factors that determine the success or failure of transitioning… Read More
