Beer. It’s one of the most popular drinks in the world (after water, tea, coffee and orange juice apparently). Join us for a light-hearted presentation on some of the science behind this underrated beverage. We’ll be discussing the nerdy side of beer, from the ingredients, to the brewing process. Who knew that chemistry, microbiology and hydrogeology could be so interesting (hopefully all of you)?

Dr Dylan Irvine joined CDU in Jan 2021 through the Outstanding Future Researcher program. His research focuses predominantly on groundwater related issues. He is currently working on springs, seawater intrusion, groundwater management and the use of carbon-14 to determine groundwater age. Dylan is collaborating with six other institutions on an ARC Linkage Project investigating the Doongmabulla Springs Complex. He also likes a beer.

    'Culture-based conservation' approach to supporting governance of Indigenous territories

    Indigenous Peoples are crucial for the long-term persistence of the Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystem services. In the Philippines, the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act of 1998 protects Indigenous rights to own and manage territories. The forests of Indigenous territories are habitats of the Philippine eagle – a forest eagle that is endemic to the Philippines where it is a national bird and an apex forest predator.

    Carbon and water adventures in north Australia

    With climate change and increasing land use pressures there is more and more demand for knowledge of carbon dynamics and water use as well as water resource management. Lindsay’s research is focused on providing better understanding of the biophysical environment of tropical land and water systems.

    From CCTV to AI

    Fish farms have historically been a black box in terms of understanding the behavioural needs and preferences of the fish within them, as the only chance to assess what they are up to is when they break the surface. Sunil has been monitoring fish behaviour below the surface of farms for 35 years.
