Deakin University’s Blue Carbon Lab offers innovative research solutions for helping to mitigate climate change and improve natural capital, while also contributing to jobs, economic growth, capacity building and community wellbeing.

Our Vision

The Blue Carbon Labs’ in-house expertise spans ecology, biogeochemistry, microbiology, environmental economics, modeling and mapping/remote sensing. We use these skills to create innovative research solutions to mitigate climate change and enhance our blue economy.

In addition to academic research, the Blue Carbon Lab offers a range of environmental services spanning from project inception to implementation. We have provided consulting services to partners from industry and government, with collaborations in over 30 countries.
