Looking back, moving forward: rivers, groundwater and oceans

Water—we can’t live without it. Although some people don’t think about H₂O beyond having access to a shower and quenching their thirst, water is a shared and precious resource for most environmental, economic and cultural purposes.

Beyond its everyday uses, water has significant social and spiritual meanings to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, who have adapted to live on the driest inhabited continent on Earth for over 65,000 years.

During the second event in our 2023 Public Speaker Series, we’ll hear from Associate Professor Bradley Moggridge and Ms Mibu Fischer about their work across rivers, groundwater and oceans. Both researchers will discuss how Indigenous knowledges impact their work and the communities with which they work.
