No full textGriffith University is signatory to the United Nations Global Compact and has signed up to Sustainable Development Solutions Network Australia/Pacific — the Universities Commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Griffith University has a passion for sustainability, a key initiative of the 2020-2025 Strategic Plan. By 2025, Griffith University’s commitment to and continuous improvement in sustainability will be achieved by: • Embedding the SDGs in University teaching, research and operations. • Ranking in the top 200 universities in the world for the implementation of the SDGs. • Halving carbon emissions by 2030; with the goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This booklet was created to provide readily available information to some of the vertebrate species recorded on the Griffith University Gold Coast campus for education and teaching purposes. The vertebrate species have been ordered by class (frogs, reptiles, mammals, birds and fish) and then in alphabetical order by scientific name (based on IUCN naming conventions). Below each species photograph, icons displaying endemicity and threat status have been included along with threatening processes. A brief description of the habitat and ecology of each species is also provided.Full Tex

Daniel Moseley Griffith III (August 26, 1906 - May 13, 1973) was born in Owensboro, Kentucky to Daniel Moseley Griffith, Jr. and Susan Mildred Herr. Griffith practiced law in Owensboro. He served as Daviess County Attorney for two terms. In 1945, he was elected Commonwealth\u27s Attorney--he was re-elected for two additional terms. Griffith was appointed a judge in the Daviess County Circuit Court in 1962 and served in that capacity until his death in 1973. He married Alene Eaty in 1934.https://uknowledge.uky.edu/klapp_1930/1004/thumbnail.jp

Student Data from Clinical Education at the School of Dentistry and Oral Health, Griffith University [Dataset]
No full textResearch data produced in association with PhD Thesis, 'A Prospective Evaluation of Interprofessional Team-Based Clinical Education at the School of Dentistry and Oral Health, Griffith University'. As the potential value of interprofessional education (IPE) is strongly advocated in the literature, the Griffith University School of Dentistry and Oral Health (DOH) introduced the interprofessional teams-based treatment planning (TBTP) process in 2009 to address these educational challenges and facilitate IPE. The TBTP process incorporated student practice teams and an expansion of peer learning through collaboration between students enrolled in three different oral health programs, namely dentistry, dental technology and oral health therapy. It was perceived that shared learning, understanding of complementary knowledge, collaborative participation in managing patient care, and having knowledge/respect for each professions’ role were all necessary to improve communication and teamwork skills in a pre-qualification context in readiness for collaborative oral health practice. However, a systematic evaluation of the TBTP process, its contribution to student clinical learning and experiences, and whether those experiences contributed to advancing interprofessional competencies and capabilities at DOH has not been conducted since its commencement. The thesis documents an evaluation that researched the attitudes, perceptions and experiences of students, clinical teaching staff, patients and newly graduated OHPs involved with the TBTP process at DOH between 2012 and 2015. This data informs part of that evaluation.Full Tex
A Report Focussing on Teaching Academic Careers at Griffith
No full textThis project examined the developmental needs and perceptions of Griffith academics with a teaching emphasis (>50% teaching allocation) with the aim of further strengthening their contribution and success as university educators and leaders in learning and teaching.
This report summarises trends in teaching-focused academic careers in the Australian Higher Education sector, presents institutional data on the nature and distribution of teaching emphasis academics at Griffith and reports the perceptions of a range of key stakeholders (including senior leaders (Deans (L&T), Deans (Academic)), HR Managers, Heads of Schools and Deputy Heads of Schools, plus teaching emphasis academics) on issues affecting the careers of teaching emphasis academics.Full Tex

Field‐based Carbon Assessment of the Arboretum at the Logan campus, Griffith University
No full textForests on the campuses of Griffith University contribute a range of ecosystem services and functions including sequestering carbon, and hence are an important component of Griffith University’s Sustainability Goals including United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UNSDG) 13: Climate Action and UNSDG 15: Life on Land. This includes the 5.2 ha Arboretum at the Logan campus of Griffith University. To estimate the carbon sequestered in the Arboretum over the initial nine years of growth, field work was undertaken in 2023. Specifically, Above Ground Biomass was estimated by converting measurements of the height and width of all woody plants and standing dead trees with a Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) of at least 5 cm in 10m by 15m randomly located quadrats in each of 28 blocks of forest in the Arboretum using standard allometric calculations. These field values were then converted to tons of Above Ground Carbon per ha (38.9 t C ha‐1 ) which was then combined with area of the Arboretum (5.2 ha trees) to give a final estimate of the amount of Above Ground Carbon (192.5 t carbon) as well as both Above and Below (in roots) Ground Carbon in woody plants (240 t carbon). These results demonstrate the importance of the Arboretum where an open area of grass has been turned into a high biodiverse urban forest consisting of over 3,500 trees in 2023 representing 56 species that is cooling the Logan campus, conserving soil, providing habitat for wildlife and wellbeing benefitsfor staff,students and visitors. It has also already sequestered about 29% (Gold Coast) or 27% (Nathan) of the carbon in the native forests on the other campuses. Ongoing management of Arboretum and other wood vegetation on the Logan campus including trees in the Slakes Creek restoration forests, formal gardens and the small area remnant forest at the Logan Campus of Griffith University will ensure they continue to provide benefits including carbon sequestration.Full Tex
Field‐based Forest Carbon Assessment Griffith University, Gold Coast Campus
No full textThe native forests of Griffith University contribute a range of ecosystem services and functions including sequestering carbon, and hence are an important component of Griffith University’s Sustainability Goals including United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UNSDG) 13: Climate Action and UNSDG 15: Life on Land. To estimate the carbon currently stored within the native forests, and potential for future carbon sequestration, field estimation of the carbon sequestered in the forests on the Gold Coast campus of Griffith University was undertaken in 2023. Specifically, Above Ground Biomass was estimated by converting measurements of the height and width of all woody plants and standing dead trees with a Diameter at Breast Height of at least 5 cm along two randomly located 20 x 50 m transects in the dominant Blackbutt forest Regional Ecosystem (RE) using standard allometric calculations. These field values were then converted to tons of Above Ground Carbon per ha (126 t C ha‐1 ) which was then combined with the current area of intake for the forest on‐campus (29.2 ha) to give a final estimate of the amount of Above Ground Carbon (3,679 t carbon) as well as both Above and Below (in roots) Ground Carbon in woody plants (4,672 t carbon). Furthermore, these forests could be contributing to further carbon sequestration at an estimated rate of 85 t ha‐1 y‐1 . These results demonstrate the importance of the forests on the Gold Coast campus in their role as relatively high carbon stocks when compared to other sub‐tropical forest types in Queensland. It also emphasises their role as carbon sinks when they recover from past logging, and other types of disturbance, with an estimated sequestration of carbon at a rate of 85 t ha‐1 y‐1 . However, they could become a source of carbon (losing more than they sequester) if not appropriately managed, including damage to the few remaining large old trees, which are significant carbon stores, with less than 3% of the trees accounting for more than 52% of the carbon stock on the campus. Inappropriate bushfire management is another important risk that could reduce the sequestration potential of these forests.Full Tex
