Inspiring research stories
Smart science is ensuring sustainable agriculture and groundwater supply.
Three Flinders University researchers have been awarded Future Fellowships worth almost $3 million in the Australian Research Council’s first round of 2022.
Healthy sharks are emblematic of a healthy ocean ecology – and detailed shark diet investigations by Dr Lauren Meyer are providing insight about the great risk that microplastics pose to marine life.
Clues to understanding human interactions with global ecosystems already exist. The challenge is to read them more accurately so we can design the best path forward for a world beset by species extinctions and the repercussions of global warming.
“When I look at mudflats, I see an upside-down forest.” It’s an important view that defines ecological insight for Professor Sabine Dittmann, Professor of Marine Biology at Flinders University, whose focus on tidal wetlands is central to the conservation and restoration of coastal ecosystems.
A 375-million-year-old fish fossil is casting new light on our own evolution, and on the complex history of the earliest vertebrates.
Bushfires, droughts, failing crops and rising sea levels – the litany of disasters arising from climate change are all too familiar. But as the contours of challenges ahead become clearer, the implications for national defence and security are also coming into sharper focus.
Waste can be valuable in ways that we don’t yet realise. It just takes a visionary to see it.
