Life on Land

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

I made a series of brooches titles ‘Charred Koala- Hanging on’ in response to the 2019 bush fires. Ancient forest and animal habitat cannot be quickly replaced. The koala is frequently used as a symbol of Australia. It is widely recognisable and its image embodies much more than just a… 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

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… Read More

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… Read More

“The Radical Materiality of Oystertecture“ reinventing the boundary – through the innovative use of discarded oyster shells. Variations in thickness and height of the oystertecture are driven by the sun’s direction and height. The art installation enhances the interplay between the user, the structure, and the light.

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… Read More

EcoSummit 2023 is a forum for scientists, policy-makers and practitioners to take a cross disciplinary approach focused on climate adaptation and the development of environmental and socio-economic resilience and, sustainable global prosperity. All areas of engineering, science, environmental modelling and policy will be considered in this work. An additional focus… Read More

This project aimed to contribute to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) led SOLAW21 report by providing a strong comprehensive response framework for better understanding the effectiveness of technical, Institutional and policy responses to mitigate and adapt to land, soil and water degradation. The scale of benefits of this… Read More
