Description:
The ACTFR is a research and consultancy centre established within James Cook University of North Queensland in 1987 to promote water research, technology and information transfer to industry. Since its inception, the ACTFR has grown steadily and expanded to fill a largely vacant niche in tropical ecological research and consultancy in Australia. In parallel with this growth, the ACTFR has shifted from being solely a centre for water research, to one that has an interdisciplinary and holistic approach to environmental projects.
