The Australian Rivers Institute (ARI), at Griffith University, is a world leader in research and education on rivers, coasts and catchments.
One of Australia’s largest university-based water science research centres, ARI brings together 130 staff and post-graduate students at the Nathan and Gold Coast campuses.
The Institute is committed to promoting a "whole-of-water-cycle" philosophy. Its scientists have internationally-recognised expertise in six research themes:
- Catchment and river ecosystem processes
- Rehabilitation science and environmental flows
- Coastal and estuarine ecosystem processes
- Aquatic biodiversity and conservation
- Integration, modelling and catchment management
- Aquatic ecosystem monitoring and assessment
Through its leaders and researchers, the Institute is proactive in national and international water science planning and research bodies. Griffith University is a founding member of the International Water Centre and is represented on international water management committees, such as the Global Water System Project, and Diversitas.
