Sustainability Research Centre (SRC)
University of the Sunshine Coast
The Sustainability Research Centre's research focuses on societal responses to emergent local and global change forces in sustainability. We contribute knowledge to a range of sustainability issues such as coastal management, climate change, and water management (recognised as significant at local through to international scales). We adopt a transdisciplinary, collaborative approach broadly aligned with human geography, embracing the disciplines of social, behavioural, economic and management sciences.
