Developing a framework for global ‘theories of change’ that coordinate local and global actions to secure a future where humans live in harmony with nature

Can basic human water needs be met without exceeding safe and just Earth System Boundaries (ESB) for surface and groundwater (blue water), defined to protect people and planet?

A Griffith-led study on the influence of pollution on the sex ratio of clutches of green sea turtles has found that it may compound the female-biasing influence of rising global temperatures

Can we turn our catchments and cities green, and make our waterways blue by 2032, and if so, how?

Particles from tyre wear were found to be the most prevalent microplastic in urban stormwater

For the first time plastics have been assessed in lakes across the world, with some found to be worse impacted than oceans

Griffith-led research is revealing metabolic strategies that are consistent across the rich diversity of life in the animal kingdom

New Griffith-led research has found that climate and river management have impacted both the amount of water and when it arrives. Published in Ecological Indicators, researchers from Griffith University and the University of Queensland investigated the change in the occurrence of streamflow due to climate change (through a change in rainfall) and river operations (flow […]

New Griffith-led research outlines how nutrient offsetting can achieve its potential as a more cost-effective way of improving water quality

In the lead up to the Freshwater Sciences Downunder conference in Brisbane, Griffith University hosts minority students from the United States as part of the Society for Freshwater Science Emerge Program

Dr Timothy Cadman has successfully secured the protection of local hardwood areas once primed for logging, including native forest belonging to the proposed Great Koala National Park along the Mid North Coast of New South Wales. Thanks to the support of extensive fieldwork, satellite mapping software and historical imagery, Dr Cadman led effective negotiations with […]

A new Griffith study has found that bushfire fighting chemicals commonly marketed as environmentally friendly can severely affect frog development

Sediment runoff from land use change is missing from global priorities, despite being one of the greatest threats facing freshwater and marine ecosystems

A Griffith University study found that wetland vegetation will naturally re-establish on abandoned agricultural land threatened by sea level rise

Genetic techniques have helped uncover a new threatened species of freshwater mussel in southern Western Australia

Griffith University research reveals that when combinations of human-caused stressors fluctuate, replicating more realistic environmental conditions, it vastly changes their impact on wetland habitats.

For biodiversity to thrive, conservation efforts must be ‘Nature and People Positive’, a recent study has found.

World-first data analysis platform, EcoCommons has been launched, transforming our ability to understand the impacts of the climate crisis on Australia’s environment and native species.
