Our research portfolio is organised around a number of themes reflecting our wide range of expertise
- the impacts of investment in public transport infrastructure
- what works in travel behaviour change
- innovations in public participation in planning
- the scope for tiny houses to improve housing choice
- how to measure the value of social housing
- planning for climate change in coastal cities
- and...the opportunities offered by sea cities.
Explore each of our research themes below in more detail.
Core research themes
Adaptation Science
This theme explores the ins and outs of climate adaptation, with a strong focus on sustainable and robust decision-making processes in managing local and global change.
Building Science and Construction Innovation
Looking to improve the integrity, robustness and safety of various building structures used in the construction industry.
Digital earth and resilient infrastructure
Our researchers are exploring decision-making pathways for complex built environment challenges, towards nature loving, nature inspired and place-based solutions.
Digital multi-utility transformation
Seeking to integrate 'big data' metering & monitoring technologies & associated expert systems into infrastructure.
Sea cities
This research looks at geographical positions between land and sea and future development scenarios through hydrodynamic modeling.
Transport Research Group
Working closely with a wide range of industry partners to help plan, build and manage transport systems.
Water and waste management
This theme is focused on co-designing and implementing applied research for the water and waster management sector and transferring science into practice.
Griffith University Systems Modelling Group
This research group brings together Griffith University experts in methodologies including Systems Thinking, System Dynamics, Bayesian Modelling and Social Network Analysis and applies them to a range of problems involving ecological, social and economic aspects of human interaction with nature
Coastal and Marine Research Centre
The Coastal and Marine Research Centre integrates our coastal expertise with wider questions of city planning. Through rigorous research and community engagement, the Centre explores the vulnerabilities of Australian coastal cities helps them to be more resilient into the future.
