Cities are expanding and temperatures are rising, so how can nature be used to support better ecosystems for our future communities? Ecological engineers are instrumental in enhancing the sustainability of our cities, reducing heat and increasing amenity value using living green infrastructure.
Join experts from Griffith University’s Green Infrastructure Research Labs (GIRLS) on a walking tour around South Bank to explore innovative green walls, roofs, street trees and other urban greenery. Students will meet the scientists shaping the future of our city, get hands-on with the tools used to measure how urban design impacts our daily lives, and discover how different fields like urban planning, engineering, and plant science come together to build a better, greener world.
Presented with support from Griffith University.

This resource can be used to analyse the human impacts associated with a wide range of environmental issues, including the effects of litter, deforestation, sea level rise, tourism, climate change or ocean acidification.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are the highest they have been in human history, and possibly the last 20 million years. The continuing release of this gas into the atmosphere means that more carbon dioxide is being dissolved into the oceans. How does this affect ocean chemistry and marine ecosystems, and what can we do about it? In this resource you will conduct a simple experiment and complete a design challenge to learn more about carbon dioxide and the ocean.
In this activity, students examine developments in science and technology by selecting an innovation or object whose design has been inspired by nature. They explore why the innovation or object was developed, its design and function, then determine how the item has impacted society. Students then work to improve the selected innovation or object in some way.
