Is the Wivenhoe Dam really the guardian of the River City?
In the aftermath of recent cyclones, South-east Queensland residents should remain alert – especially the catchments downstream of Wivenhoe Dam says Griffith University’s Dr Margaret Cook.

Global heatwaves are causing severe human suffering, with vulnerable populations facing escalating risks. Urgent questions arise about mobility, decent work, health access, homelessness, mental health, and essential services during extreme heat says Professor Susan Harris Rimmer.
The Australian summer is frequently accompanied by extreme weather risks. Residents must understand their risks, stay informed through warning systems, and have disaster plans tailored to specific threats says Professor of Disaster Management, Iain MacKenzie.
Cyclones have significantly affected the Queensland tourism industry. One thing that has become abundantly clear: industry-wide preparation is the key to mitigating the devastating impact of natural disasters says Dr Yawei Jiang.
Over 80% of global fish stocks are fully exploited, with sharks and tuna declining by 90%. Over 300,000 whales and dolphins are accidentally caught annually due to overfishing. This crisis extends worldwide, especially impacting coastal fisheries. Research on Sri Lanka reveals overfishing exceeding sustainable levels but there is hope says GBS PhD candidate Krish Gnanapragasam.
Professor Susan Harris Rimmer contemplates the charges against a group of Queenslanders who protested against coal and gas in the parliament and were charged with disturbing the legislature, which carries a three-year jail sentence. She questions if getting arrested is the only meaningful way to achieve intergenerational justice.
