Research
Research for a better world
The protection of our planet requires transformative research. At 海角视频, our research impact clusters identify four areas of urgent need: Harvest to Health, ZeroWaste, Reefs and Oceans & Catchments, Coasts and Communities.
While our researchers are already making an impact locally, regionally and globally, we believe these clusters will enhance that impact.
By optimising ideas, projects, facilities and resources; targeting existing and potential areas of need; and enabling interconnected and multidisciplinary relationships, our clusters represent a targeted approach to a common goal – a better, safer, more sustainable world.
