Three UQ conservation researchers say upgraded marine parks must cover poorly protected habitats important for biodiversity.
10 June 2025Analysis has shown a boulder weighing almost 1,200 tonnes in Tonga is one of the largest known wave-transported rocks in the world, providing new insights into the Pacific region’s history and risk of tsunamis.
22 May 2025Scientists have launched an interactive global map to show the migratory patterns of more than 100 marine species in an effort to protect at-risk wildlife.
9 May 2025Satellites orbiting Earth offer great potential to better understand the world’s reefs over time beyond the sites visited by researchers, UQ research has found.
30 April 2025A UQ researcher has confirmed a boulder at a regional school contains one of the highest concentrations of dinosaur footprints per square metre ever documented in Australia.
12 March 2025A UQ team has completed one of the most comprehensive surveys of Australia’s subtropical rainforests to document how climate dictates what species thrive in different locations.
17 February 2025Crocodiles in northern Australia are heating up as the climate warms, with higher body temperatures changing their behaviour.
13 February 2025Research on Australian volcanoes shows how tiny crystals formed inside volcanoes offer clues about the formation of rare earth deposits and how we can find more of them.
11 February 2025A UQ-led team has successfully produced the first kangaroo embryos through in vitro fertilisation (IVF), a crucial jump towards saving other marsupial species from extinction.
6 February 2025Monarch butterflies appear to be declining not just in North America but also in Australasia.
3 January 2025New research has revealed less than a quarter of the remaining tropical rainforests around the globe can safeguard thousands of threatened species from extinction.
10 December 2024Technology that combines infrared lighting, robotics and a retroreflective marker is allowing scientists to follow and film insects as they fly in their natural environment.
5 December 2024Coral adaptation to global warming will likely be overwhelmed without rapid reductions in global greenhouse gasses, according to an international team of scientists.
29 November 2024For the first time, scientists have used data from weather radar not to track storms, but to count birds as they travel across Australian skies.
28 October 2024A tissue-culture propagation technology developed at UQ to grow hundreds of plants from a single cutting is set to bolster avocado production across Latin America.
9 October 2024A multi-disciplinary UQ project aims to quantify how many Australians will be forced to relocate because of climate change disaster scenarios in the next 25 years.
2 October 2024Records of koala admissions to veterinary hospitals in South East Queensland show euthanasia was the most common outcome, according to University of Queensland research.
10 September 2024UQ research has revealed that informing tourists visiting the Great Barrier Reef about climate impact doesn’t negatively affect their experience and can help encourage climate action.
3 September 2024A UQ library – full of hailstones instead of books – is helping researchers to better understand and predict damaging storms.
16 August 2024Leading scientists have found that sea surface temperatures on the Great Barrier Reef have reached a 400-year critical level, with human-induced climate change to blame.
