    Event description

    University Impact presents Meet the Researchers for Global Climate Change week. Join us at UOW's Innovation Campus for insightful presentations as they delve into the realm of evidence-based practices. This event is hybrid and also available online. 

    Dr Jeff Kelleway is a Senior Research Fellow in the Environmental Futures Research Centre at the University of Wollongong, specialising in the response of coastal wetlands to environmental change and their potential role in climate change migration. This research brings together elements of ecology, geomorphology and biogeochemistry, with Dr Kelleway and his group working in diverse settings across Australia's coastlines. Dr Kelleway will be joined by fellow researchers to explore the theme more deeply. 

    Dr Kelleway will be presenting on Climate change and coastal impacts

    Associate Professor Sarah Hamylton in the School of Earth, Atmospheric and Life Sciences (SEALS) has worked on management issues such as marine pollution, deforestation of mangroves and the establishment of marine protected areas, collecting and using information (particularly in the form of digital maps) to aid management decision-making in coastal environments. Sarah's research focuses on developing models to better explain and predict characteristics of tropical coastal environments which takes a broad international focus, including projects in Fiji, the Seychelles and Red Sea. 

    Associate Professor Sarah Hamylton will be presenting on Mapping, monitoring and modelling the coast: understanding past, present and future changes

    This event is open to the public, and the presentations have been designed with a diverse audience in mind. High school students are also welcome and encouraged to attend.  

    There will be a panel discussion featuring UOW Alumnus. 

    Each presentation will last 15-20 minutes and be followed by an interactive Q&A session where the audience are invited to engage with the researchers.

    Doors open at 5:00pm

    Refreshments included

    Don't miss the opportunity to hear about interesting and impactful research.
