ARC Research Network for Understanding and Managing Australian Biodiversity. Biodiversity research is strong in Australia but is highly uncoordinated and, along with recent major breakthroughs in both theory and techniques, has highlighted the need for a Network to properly integrate research and focus it on the most appropriate scale.

Biodiversity research is strong in Australia but is highly uncoordinated and, along with recent major breakthroughs in both theory and techniques, has highlighted the need for a Network to properly integrate research and focus it on the most appropriate scale. This Network aims to bring together a diverse spectrum of highly experienced and early career researchers to pool their ideas and expertise to allow them to determine how best to describe Australia's current biodiversity and the biological and environmental history leading up to the present. A major outcome will be the ability to predict the impacts of environmental change on biodiversity to assist management decisions across Australia, with lessons of global importance.Read moreRead less
Coral Reefs Sensing Our Changing Climate. Australia's Great Barrier Reef is a valuable national and community resource, supporting commercial and recreation fishing and extensive national and international tourism along the length of Queenslands coastline. However it is an environment that is under threat from changing climate. The impact of a degraded reef environment is broad reaching, with effects on the Australian and Queensland economy and way of life. A better understanding of how this va ....Coral Reefs Sensing Our Changing Climate. Australia's Great Barrier Reef is a valuable national and community resource, supporting commercial and recreation fishing and extensive national and international tourism along the length of Queenslands coastline. However it is an environment that is under threat from changing climate. The impact of a degraded reef environment is broad reaching, with effects on the Australian and Queensland economy and way of life. A better understanding of how this valuable environment will respond to its changing environment is imperative and will provide us with a more informed basis on which to predict its future sustainability.
