Since 1975, Griffith University’s teaching and research have been focused on addressing the most important social and environmental issues of our time. Social and environmental responsibility drive everything we do, from environmental science to our long-time support for First Peoples, social justice and sustainable practices.  The Microbial Ecology group in the School of Environment and Science is dedicated to applied and translational research for optimising water and wastewater treatment, water recycling and environmental protection.  We are also committed to providing knowledge sharing and transfer throughout the water sector, through our Professional Learning Hub, with dedicated water and wastewater Microcredential courses and Digital Badges.
