The Faculty of ECMS has a reputation for innovative research across a wide range of
fields. While research can be described within each School, the Faculty also has a number
of cross discipline research groupings. These groupings bring together researchers from a
variety of backgrounds to tackle larger research problems. In addition, the Faculty has
several research centres specialising in particular areas of expertise.
With reduced flows in the River Murray, there is now a greater need than ever to understand the dynamics of the mouth area. A growing flood tidal delta is harming the area in general, and the Coorong in particular, but innovative work by the group over the last 15 years is leading to better management options.
