Media and publications

See recent scientific publications about our research:

• Stormwater quality improvement devices – ways we could improve local water quality.
• The performance of a self-powered photodetector – testing innovative self-powered photo detectors.
• Health, security and fire safety process optimisation – investigating ways critical data is prioritised.
• Function-based typology for ecosystems – a framework that addressed the dual goal to conserve biodiversity and sustain ecosystem services.
• Improving plant selection for green infrastructure – selecting plants that can persist in urban environments and improve stormwater retention, cooling, biodiversity and air pollution.
• Ecological benefits of topographic complexity in seawalls – identifying conditions where adding topographic features to traditionally flat seawalls will support greater microhabitat biodiversity.
• Responding to sea level rise in Indonesia – governance challenges associated with managing sea level rise.
• Advances in ethylene gas detection – looking at real-time detecting and monitoring of ethylene gas molecules which can benefit the agricultural, horticultural and healthcare industries.
• Reintroducing habitat heterogeneity to marine urban structures – considering how engineered surfaces on urban structures, like seawalls, can enhance biodiversity and ecological function.
