A 9-year-old Queensland boy who encouraged one of the world's biggest pop stars to get involved in a campaign to protect the Great Barrier Reef has added another achievement to his impressive record.
A workshop aimed at helping early and mid-career marine science researchers realise their full potential through collaboration and networking was recently held at the Moreton Bay Research Station.
All of the world’s shallow coral reefs have been digitally mapped, thanks to a 3-year project combining 2 million satellite images, enormous amounts of field data and UQ-developed mapping techniques.
Ecological grief has been identified among communities in the Great Barrier Reef, and it appears most likely to occur when environmental losses happen quickly or when species or ecosystems of high social or cultural importance are affected.
The Minderoo Foundation has partnered with UQ to understand if micro and nano plastics and the plastic chemicals which leach out of plastic products are found in the human body.
The Goodman Foundation is an inaugural foundation partner of the Centre for Marine Science, and the new gift agreement with UQ will continue its decade-long support of research in Moreton Bay and the development of student skills and research.
The University of Queensland’s Honorary Professor John Jell AM, lauded geologist and reef scientist, has been recognised with a 2021 Queen’s Birthday Honour.
In a world first, a satellite-based global coral reef bleaching monitoring system will scan the Earth’s oceans for coral-killing bleaching events in real-time.
University of Queensland scientists working to unlock the mysteries Australia’s deadly stonefish have made a discovery which could change how sting victims are treated in the future.
Climate change is causing the “feminisation” of green turtle populations in far north Queensland, but a study shows seawater irrigation could potentially reverse the male drought.
The world's giant kelp forests – vital marine wildernesses as important to Earth’s ecology as rainforests and coral reefs – are being mapped by a team of international scientists.
The ‘hidden’ continent of Zealandia is being partially mapped, thanks to a deepwater mapping expedition led by The University of Queensland in collaboration with Schmidt Ocean Institute.
University of Queensland scientists have developed an ultraviolet ‘television’ display designed to help researchers better understand how animals see the world.
With its ability to deliver hundreds of thousands of venom injections at once, the box jellyfish has been labelled the most lethal creature known to humans.
University of Queensland marine and coastal research will play an essential role in a new research hub, recently announced as part of a $47 million Australian Government commitment.
A new study shows the coastal protection coral reefs currently provide will start eroding by the end of the century, as the world continues to warm and the oceans acidify.
In a discovery spanning millions of years, scientists have found that humans, and most likely other animals, share important genetic mechanisms with a prehistoric Great Barrier Reef sea sponge.
