Future Regions Research Centre (FRRC)
About us
We aim to create new knowledge and innovative solutions to the grand challenges that impact both our natural and constructed environments.
Research streams
FRRC’s research is organised into five research streams.
Resilient Landscapes and Aquatic Systems
This stream evaluates the health of landscapes and aquatic systems and explores appropriate measures for their remediation.
