Powerful research, practical solutions
Our research aims to help communities build coastal resilience, protect the environment and plan for the future. We can also access other Griffith University research centres, such as the Cities Research Institute and the Griffith Climate Change Response Program, making our centre one of the most comprehensive, all-encompassing coastal advisory services in Australia.
