Congratulations to our staff on the UQ Field Geology Program team. The program has been recognised with a 2015 UQ Commendation for Programs that Enhance Learning.
An international research team led by University of Queensland scientists has returned from the Great Barrier Reef with historical insights that could predict how the reef will respond to future environmental change.
Scientists from The University of Queensland and other Australian universities are undertaking a project to measure how the reef has responded to changing sea-levels, climate, and water quality over the past 8000 years.
Queensland is relatively safe from the threat of a devastating tsunami but our southern neighbours on the east coast may not be so lucky, a recent study has found.
The Great Barrier Reef is at greater risk than ever from severe weather events, and University of Queensland researchers predict an increase in coral death this summer.
An ancient fossil of the bilby, Australia’s answer to the Easter rabbit, has been discovered at the Riversleigh World Heritage site in north west Queensland.
A UQ scientist has joined international colleagues to accurately date Martian rocks using a specially-designed instrument on board NASA’s Curiosity rover.
