Sustainable community-based conservation in Solomon Islands
This multidisciplinary research program supports conservation efforts of local communities across Solomon Islands’ terrestrial and marine environments.
Project leads: Jennifer Corrin, Ian Tibbetts
Climate change and everyday lives in the Pacific Islands
We are creating ways of working through loss and grief with communities at the frontline of climate change; investigating how human mobility can contribute to both climate change adaptation and broader human development goals; and producing new knowledge on the opportunities and challenges of diverse policy responses to sea level rise.
Project lead: Karen McNamara
Ecology of elasmobranchs and crocodiles
Assessing the effects of increasing temperatures on the diving behaviour, physiology and movement of sharks and crocodiles, including acoustic and satellite tracking.
Project leads: Craig Franklin
50 Reefs project
A long-term global strategy for coral reef conservation, this project identifies coral reefs that are less exposed to climate change and best placed to reseed degraded reefs.
Project leads: Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Caitie Keumpel, Hawthorn Bayer
Allen Coral Atlas
This project combines nano-satellite technology with knowledge to develop the first detailed global coral reef habitat map fundamental to future conservation efforts.
Project leads: Stuart Phinn, Chris Roelfsema, Emma Kennedy
Coral reef resilience
We are studying how natural environmental variation combines with projected elevated sea surface temperature and acidification to influence coral reefs, and developing solutions for enhancing their ecological resilience.
Project leads: Ove Hoegh-Guldberg, Sophie Dove, Caitie Keumpel, Hawthorn Bayer, Kristen Brown
