Research Funding to Build Knowledge on Critical Climate Challenges

Research into the impacts of climate change on Antarctic ice and ecosystems, electric vehicle efficiency and governance for marine carbon dioxide removal will be funded under the latest round of Australian Research Council (ARC) grants.

The University of Tasmania and research partners have been awarded competitive funding of more than $4 million in Round 1 of the 2025 ARC Discovery Projects scheme.

The Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research at the University, Professor Anthony Koutoulis, said the funded projects reflect the University’s strategic focus on sustainability and the challenges of climate change.

“These research projects address urgent issues. With each project from Tasmania we contribute to global knowledge and technologies that will create critical understanding of how our planet is changing and the ways in which we must respond to these changes.

“These grants signify the calibre of the research taking place here at our university and I would like to congratulate all the successful research teams.”
