AIMS@UWA Research Symposium
Indian Ocean Marine Research Centre (UWA)Building 453, Ground Floor Auditorium64 FairwayCrawley,Launched in November 2020, AIMS@UWA is an alliance between UWA and AIMS to employ marine science academics jointly in areas where our goals and interests overlap, with a focus on tropical marine science. Research under this partnership emphasises applied science with impact, underpinned by fundamental environmental research. Projects will address the needs of a wide range of stakeholders having interests in the care and stewardship of tropical marine environment including industry, policy and decision makers, and local communities.
Our mission is to produce an internationally recognised cohort of emergent emerging tropical marine researchers in Western Australia, directing their work towards the protection and sustainable protection and use of our marine heritage, by integrating fundamental and applied research and by leveraging the infrastructure and research strengths of both organisations.
Our researchers and students are working on exciting projects that range from coral resilience studies to whale shark monitoring and more. At this inaugural annual research symposium, you will have the opportunity to meet the team and learn about ongoing work in tropical marine science on the west coast.
This free event is part of the Expert Series presented by the UWA Oceans Institute. For more information, visit www.oceans.uwa.edu.au

AUDRC - Resilient Cities

AUDRC - Resilient Cities
AUDRC (Australian Urban Design Research Centre)Level 2 1002 Hay StPerth,This course builds on the Sustainability and Cities course. The rapid urbanisation of the world, particularly in development countries is leading to a focus on building settlements and cities that are “resilient”. Resilient cities can be defined as those that “are capable of withstanding severe shock without either immediate chaos or permanent deformation or rupture. Designed in advance to anticipate and recover from the impacts of natural or technological hazards, resilient cities are based on principles derived from past experience with disasters in urban areas”.
As climate change is predicted to increase the risks, impacts and shocks to cities then climate change adaptation planning must be an integral part of making cities and settlements more resilient. The course looks at the interaction between climate change adaptation and increased resilience and uses adaptation to climate change as a window into the broader task of making cities more resilient. It starts by looking at the science behind human induced climate change, its expected impacts on cities and how to assess the risk and adaptation options for reducing its impact. The course then looks at the meaning of resilient cities, summarizes the requirements and approaches for creating resilient cities and discusses the barriers and challenges of achieving this. It finishes by looking at the planning frameworks and best practice approaches for building resilient cities, using relevant case studies.
An all day Masterclass (maximum 30), with optional two workshops the following Fridays.
Masterclass Friday 10 September (all day)
Workshop 1 Friday 17 September (all day)
Workshop 2 Friday 24 September (all day)Run by Australian Urban Design Research Centre at UWA

CCWA's Annual Conference - A Bold Vision for WA
Bendat Community Centre36 Dodd StWembley,CCWA are excited to announce our Annual Conference for 2021 - A Bold Vision for WA: Conservation, Climate and Communities.
Join us on Friday 24 September at the Bendat Parent and Community Centre in Wembley, right next door to the beautiful Lake Monger.
Building on CCWA’s ambition plan released earlier this year, this Conference will showcase a new way of thinking that can solve environmental challenges while future-proofing our economy, creating jobs and providing a better quality of life for all West Australians.
This is an opportunity to celebrate the work of CCWA’s member groups and the opportunities for different types of action, cooperation and engagement across all sectors to strategically shift the conversation around environmental issues in WA.
Your conference ticket includes access to the full conference and exhibition, catering, entertainment and sundowner, and offsetting our emissions.
This conference is hosted by the Conservation Council of WA, the state’s peak environmental organisation representing more than one hundred environmental groups and members of the conservation community in Western Australia.
