🌧You're not imagining it...🌧

We've had a lot of rain!

Griffith University's Dr Margaret Cook spoke to the ABC about the unseasonable rain hitting parts of South East Queensland.

"We're not at the panic stage yet, but it is certainly an issue when the ground is so wet, when more rain comes and we get runoff, and of course we have already seen flooding."

Have you heard of the Endangered Mary River cod? 🐟

It's one of the rarest freshwater fish in Australia, and they live in the Mary River (Moonaboola) in south-eastern Queensland. The Mary River is a sanctuary for many threatened and endangered freshwater species, such as the Australian lungfish and the Mary River turtle. 🐢

While bird and possum boxes are regularly installed in trees and artificial reefs are commonplace in marine conservation, this is the first time artificial nesting structures have been used for wild Mary River cod.💡

The logs have been regularly monitored since August and the results are very encouraging. 📈

Dr Luke Carpenter-Bundhoo and the team observing large male cod – who bear the brunt of child-rearing for several weeks – using the logs as nesting sites and protecting their brood of thousands of eggs and larvae. 🥚

It's all part of a broader hub-funded collaboration with Traditional Owners, Burnett Mary Regional Group for Natural Resource Management , the Mary River Catchment Coordinating Committee .org.au, , , , and the Australian Rivers Institute.

"With this funding we’re drawing on expertise from scientists to help guide protection of this species using methods such as the introduction of artificial logs," Minister for the Environment and Water MP said.

Griffith University Construction Management first year students saw first-hand what it is like to work in the construction industry during a site tour as part of Employability Week.

The tour included an overview of the Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct, Lumina Gold Coast, and a walk-through of 🛠️ RDX Lumina by Northwest Healthcare, a new state-of-the-art innovation and research-focused development currently under construction by Icon, anticipated to be complete mid-2025.

The tour gave students insight in developing precincts, the buildings within a precinct, outcomes and challenges.

Thank you to our hosts, Gareth Richardson, Development Manager at Economic Development Queensland, Icon and Northwest Healthcare Properties Australia, for this fantastic opportunity!

We're thrilled to announce that Griffith Sciences student Zara Campbell has been awarded the prestigious Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship 🌟

Zara shared her excitement: "The Ramsay Postgraduate Scholarship presents many opportunities. The support will allow me to focus entirely on my studies and making the most of the extra-curricular activities. I am also now a part of the Ramsay Centre community where I will meet and be supported by many other scholars from diverse fields."

Zara will be pursuing a Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, majoring in space engineering. "I’ll learn technical skills to enable me to create an impact on the sustainability of space technologies, especially related to space debris," she explained.

A special shoutout to Griffith University, particularly Victoria Menzies, for their unwavering support throughout the application process. Zara expressed her gratitude: "Victoria Menzies (Prestigious Scholarships Coach) guided me the whole way and connected me with more people who generously offered their time. Additionally, multiple Griffith staff helped me with interview preparation. This guidance and practice were invaluable."

Congratulations, Zara. We can't wait to see the incredible things you'll achieve in the field of aerospace engineering! 🚀

Our talented Griffith engineering and marine science students are collaborating with Sea World - Gold Coast, Australia to design innovative enrichment games and activities for dolphins. 🐬

These dolphins, unable to return to the wild, benefit from a stimulating environment created under the guidance of our expert lecturers.

Watch how our students bring their engineering and marine science skills to life in this unique and rewarding project.
