23.01.2022 Imagine you're a tiny frog, adorned in bright gold and red. Only a handful of people know you exist and climate change is causing your safe SEQ mountain top to become dryer and warmer. Join Dr Mariel Familiar Lopez in this episode of Back from the Brink, and learn how we can all help save the Red and Yellow Mountain Frog (Philoria kundagungan) from extinction. #BiodiversityMonth

22.01.2022 Griffith University researchers are tracking coastal raptors to discover more about their movements and lifestyle and are learning more about these "sharks of the sky".

21.01.2022 Has COVID had you considering a move away from the city? High house prices, long commutes and the ability to work from home has seen many Australians turn to working from the country. But what does that mean for our cities?

19.01.2022 Whale hello there! Did you know Griffith University researchers are now using a 'high-tech whale phone' to eavesdrop on these magnificent mammals?

19.01.2022 These otherworldly floral images are a result of Ultraviolet-Induced Visible Fluorescence (UVIVF); a type of photography where wavelengths of ultraviolet radiation are absorbed by a material’s molecules to cause substances to fluoresce. The process used means that all of the light in the photograph is radiating from the subject itself. Take a moment out of your Friday to marvel at these plant photographs featured in National Geographic.

17.01.2022 No, it's not a giant asparagus, but the Giant Spear Lily (Doryanthes palmeri)! This large native plant from Northern NSW and SEQ grows on campus at Griffith. Once pollinated by honeyeaters their flower head, which is several meters in length, forms massive seed pots. When Mike the Head Gardener on Gold Coast campus trimmed some recently, the School of Environment and Science thought it was a great chance to get in some weights work

17.01.2022 Have you ever heard of a bioblitz? Do you know what a Cascade Tree-frog looks like? Join Dr Clare Morrison in this episode of Back from the Brink and learn how vital citizen science can be in collecting data that could help save animals from extinction. The tiny Cascade Tree-frog is one such animal. #BiodiversityMonth

14.01.2022 Researchers at the Environmental Futures Research Institute at Griffith University, Alexander Braczkowski and Dr Duan Biggs, have co-authored a piece in Africa Geographic about the importance of having accurate counts of lions for their conservation. Some methods currently used can present inaccurate numbers.

14.01.2022 Baby (carpet) shark doo doo doo doo doo doo Lizzy shared this photo of her assisting in a research project on the effect of thermal stress on bioelectric field in neonatal grey carpet sharks last year. Many species of sharks, such as hammerheads, use bioelectric fields to hunt prey and to sense when a predator is close by. The research was investigating how sharks are being effected by a warming ocean and ocean acidification caused by climate change.... @lizzycapp Have a cool uni photo to share?

13.01.2022 Bachelor of Marine Science Honours student, Adam Shand loved the ocean from a young age, so choosing to study marine science was a no-brainer. Now, towards the end of his honours year, Adam has been researching the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and stereo cameras to automate the detection of estuary rays, reticulate whiprays and yellowfin bream. Read about Adam's journey on STEM @ Griffith. ... #STEMGriffith See more

05.01.2022 Meet climate change adaption scientist, Dr Johanna Nalau. Dr Nalau has just been recognised as a recipient of the 2020 Young Tall Poppy Science Awards for her remarkable research into how people make decisions in order to adapt to the impacts of climate change. #BeRemarkable

03.01.2022 Poaching for tusks and horns is a well-recognised threat to Africa’s wildlife, but Griffith University researchers are now discovering the impact of bushmeat hunting may pose an even greater threat.

03.01.2022 As part of #BiodiversityMonth, we’re joining Professor Catherine Pickering on a botany tour around Gold Coast campus. Moss loves wet areas, and the Griffith gardens are no exception, but why are they limited to these places? Find out in this video from our second year botany course, where Professor Catherine Pickering talks about the adaptations of moss to grow on land.

01.01.2022 Bats tend to get a bad rap , but these long distance pollinators have been dubbed as the "superheroes of climate change". Join Dr Alison Sammel to learn more about the Grey-headed Flying-fox, on Beyond the Brink. #BiodiversityMonth
