Harm caused by recreational cannabis could be reduced if mental health nurses are better equipped with information on the risks and benefits of the substance, according to a joint study with Charles Darwin University (CDU).
Knowledge about where and why vulnerable species choose habitats to live is vital when driving and supporting community conservation, a Charles Darwin University (CDU) expert says.
The first Charles Darwin University (CDU) Music Society has struck a chord with music enthusiasts in Darwin since its inception earlier this semester, and now boasts a membership of 120 music aficionados eager to share their passion.
Respected First Nations artist and activist Harold Thomas will be presented with an honorary doctorate from Charles Darwin University (CDU) this week, in recognition of his significant contribution to the fine arts and activism for Aboriginal rights.
Dr Elnaz Saki has always been interested in natural remedies even when they lack scientific confirmation. Eager to bridge the gap between traditional wisdom and modern science, she's harnessing the power of plants found in Top End parks and gardens.
Before now, understanding of forest resources has been restricted to the simplicity of tree measurement techniques. In recent years, terrestrial LiDAR has gained attention as a means for a more accurate and non-destructive assessment of tree and plot scale biomass (also woody volume and carbon), while uncovering tree form with a level of detail not realised by competing technologies.
With the increasing frequency and severity of heatwaves, how will some of our scalier friends cope with looming changes to their habitats? Crocodile researcher Kade Skelton has swapped the prehistoric predators for a littler lizard in order to find out.
A species of ray, so rare it has only ever been recorded once back in the late 1800s, has been declared extinct after an assessment by an international team led by Charles Darwin University (CDU).
The Greater Serengeti Ecosystem (GSE) is critical to the economy of Tanzania but living as a neighbour to the protected areas of the region can be extremely difficult. This research has been assessing the effectiveness of benefit-sharing and compensation mechanisms that conservation institutions operate with local people living in and around the GSE.
Groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs) are complex and dynamic ecosystems that have varying temporal and spatial dependency on groundwater. Altered connectivity between GDEs and groundwater results in ecosystem decline leading to irreversible change over extended periods. This seminar will illustrate different types of GDEs, characteristics of groundwater dependency and knowledge gaps in their management.
