Carbon dynamics and climate change theme areas of focus are:

• Study of carbon storage and cycling in peatlands, mangroves, and coastal wetlands.  
• Investigation of how climate change impacts hydrology, microbial communities, and greenhouse gas emissions in wetland systems.  

UniSC researchers investigate carbon storage and cycling across K’gari’s peatlands, mangroves, and coastal wetlands. This work examines how climate change affects hydrology, microbial communities, and greenhouse gas emissions, helping to predict how these ecosystems will respond to future environmental pressures. 

Understanding carbon dynamics on K’gari contributes to global climate science and informs strategies for conservation, restoration, and carbon‑positive land management.
