Summary
Upgrade of existing university low field and high field nuclear magnetic resonance facilities. The ongoing pursuit of new medicines and therapies, the development of sustainable forestry management practices and the assessment of the impact of global climate change on Australian forest soils are some of the research objectives being addressed by researchers at Griffith University. The Eskitis Institute for Cell and Molecular Therapies and the Centre for Forestry and Horticultural Research (CFHR) ....Upgrade of existing university low field and high field nuclear magnetic resonance facilities. The ongoing pursuit of new medicines and therapies, the development of sustainable forestry management practices and the assessment of the impact of global climate change on Australian forest soils are some of the research objectives being addressed by researchers at Griffith University. The Eskitis Institute for Cell and Molecular Therapies and the Centre for Forestry and Horticultural Research (CFHR) bring together researchers from a range of disciplines to further research in these key areas. The instruments funded here will provide researchers with access to spectroscopic facilities with state-of-the-art performance. This will ensure the continued international competitiveness and the sustained productivity of our research programmes.Read moreRead less
Reducing uncertainties in greenhouse gas emissions from sub-tropical land use systems. The principle outcome of the research is the identification of sustainable land use management strategies that will ensure the continued productivity and profitability of food and fibre in the Australian sub-tropics and tropics in response to climate change whilst reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Regional communities will benefit through a greater awareness of emission sources and sinks and exposure to viabl ....Reducing uncertainties in greenhouse gas emissions from sub-tropical land use systems. The principle outcome of the research is the identification of sustainable land use management strategies that will ensure the continued productivity and profitability of food and fibre in the Australian sub-tropics and tropics in response to climate change whilst reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Regional communities will benefit through a greater awareness of emission sources and sinks and exposure to viable and practical strategies that promote productivity through regional diversity in land use. Improved data on greenhouse gas accounts will also ensure the Australia community is provided with full and accurate representation in international climate change fora and policy development.Read moreRead less
