“This research will overcome the key impediment quantifying groundwater use & provide a reliable groundwater withdrawal monitoring technique, which can be incorporated into groundwater information systems to support the management of freshwater in agricultural areas"

“With access to big data and computational infrastructure, it is possible to quantify groundwater withdrawals by incorporating climate data and satellite observations of evapotranspiration, surface water, and landcover change in a machine learning model” - Dr @Ndehedehe

A new ARI-led project is using big data from satellites to assess the impacts of #droughts and water extraction on #groundwater resources in #Australia. @ndehedehe news.griffith.edu.au/2024/01/31/ass…

ARI's Dr Margaret Cook @mcookhistory had a great opinion piece in The Age & syndicated newspapers on Australia Day, about the 74 floods and the myth of Wivenhoe Dam which continues to linger @AANZEHN @HazardsResearch @latrobe Read on here: theage.com.au/national/queen…

Published in Estuar. Coast Shelf Sci. the study conducted in the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area, Western Australia, revealed that fish were more abundant around macroalgal rafts than in open water, with eleven species of juvenile fishes associated with Sargassum rafts

An ARI- & CMRC-led study has found that floating macroalgal acts as a raft that provides habitat for a diverse array of juvenile oceanic fish @GriffithJellies doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss… news.griffith.edu.au/2024/01/29/flo…

It's been 50 years since the 1974 Brisbane River flood. Listen to ARI's Dr Margaret Cook discuss how floodwaters rose on 26 January 1974 to impact tens of thousands of homes after Cyclone Wanda crossed the coast abc.net.au/listen/program…

“We’re looking at the processes & value of Queensland’s Great Artesian Springs, specifically the Wardingarri Springs, in some extremely diverse ways,” - lead researcher Professor Matt Currell of the Australian Rivers Institute and School of Engineering and Built Environment

ARI researchers are taking a novel multi-disciplinary approach incorporating cultural values & uses to better understand biogeochemical processes, water flows & recharge of high-value water sources in central Queensland’s Great Artesian Basin news.griffith.edu.au/2024/01/17/pro…

Climate & land use changes are causing significant alterations in global terrestrial water storage impacting extreme weather events such as floods and droughts, a ARI-led study by Dr Chris @ndehedehe & Dr Adeyeri Oluwafemi has found doi.org/10.1016/j.onee… news.griffith.edu.au/2024/01/09/pro…

Exciting to share our recent article in Water Research. Our finding showed that Australian biosolid is heavily polluted with #microplastic that can make their way into our farmlands. doi.org/10.1016/j.watr…

An International Water Centre @Int_WaterCentre training course is helping to ensure that behaviour change is an integral part of #water, sanitation and hygiene programs in the #Pacific. To find out more: watercentre.org/blog/influenci…
