We are an Australian research group based at Deakin University. Most of our research effort is presently directed towards capitalising on ‘Blue Carbon’, which refers to the powerful ability of coastal vegetated ecosystems to sequester carbon, and thereby help mitigate climate change. Our approach is multi-disciplinary, spanning the fields of chemistry, ecology, microbiology, economics, molecular biology, and policy. Our main research lines include: • Wetland Carbon (Blue Carbon & Teal Carbon) • Ecosystem services • Ecosystem restoration • Citizen Science • Marine Biosecurity • Decommissioning of oil & gas infrastructure The BCL team is led by Prof Peter Macreadie and includes 16 research fellows, 11 PhD candidates, and more than 10 research assistants.
