Climate change, the growing global population and humankind’s manipulation of our landscapes have had a massive impact on our environment. How do we better manage this impact on environmental systems?
We bring research, government, industry and community together to create real-world solutions to the most pressing environmental challenges. We aim to deliver ground-breaking fundamental and applied research that conserves and restores environmental systems and ensures the sustainability of natural resources in our natural, production and built landscapes.
Many Australians do not know what they can individually do to make a difference to the health of the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef, according to a QUT-led survey.
QUT researchers study biodiversity from all angles
Many of our early-career researchers are focused on the conservation of biodiversity through a range of projects that examine, protect and improve the conservation of endemic species and natural systems in both terrestrial and marine landscapes.
QUT researchers will apply their innovative method for detecting koalas using drones and infrared imaging in a collaborative project to identify wildlife populations in bushfire-affected areas.
