The Environment Institute

Welcome to The Environment Institute, located in Adelaide on North Terrace, Australia. As a leading establishment and point of interest, we are at the forefront of driving environmental change worldwide.

At The Environment Institute, we bring together top water and climate scientists, researchers, and international collaborators to address complex environmental issues and export innovative solutions globally. We represent a diverse range of centers and programs dedicated to making a positive impact on our environment.

Our enthusiastic team of researchers is dedicated to conducting groundbreaking research and achieving tangible results. We offer numerous opportunities for individuals to work with our leading researchers, including postgraduate opportunities and ways to support our research efforts.

Members of The Environment Institute have access to a wide range of resources, including images and templates, to aid their work. We encourage collaboration and knowledge-sharing within our community.

We recognize the urgent need to combat wildlife and environmental crime, which poses a serious threat to Australia's unique landscapes, biodiversity, livelihoods, and wellbeing. Through our initiatives, we aim to address these challenges and mitigate potentially disastrous biosecurity risks.

One of our notable projects is the Trees for Good Project, which engages budding scientists from Alberton Primary School in planting trees and fostering a love for nature. We also explore the fascinating world of marine animals and their habitat choices, demonstrating how playing sea soundscapes can help regrow oyster reefs.

Our research extends to South Australia's Flinders Ranges, where we uncover the epic stories hidden in the rocks. By studying the geological history of the region, we gain insights into Earth's transformation and its impact on our environment.

In collaboration with the University of Adelaide, we will be adapting and deploying the renowned citizen science platform, SciStarter, in Australia. This platform connects citizen scientists with research projects, allowing them to contribute to important scientific endeavors.

We also recognize the vital role of agriculture in carbon sequestration and mitigating climate change. Through our research, we aim to develop practices that reduce physical disturbance and maximize soil's potential to capture and store carbon dioxide.

Led by Professor Bob Hill, our cross-faculty team is committed to making positive strides in climate change, sustainability, and environmental research. We believe in developing solutions that enhance the health of our environment, our wellbeing, and the sustainability of our economy.
