Climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions is one of the most serious challenges facing mankind. Substantial emission reduction must be achieved, with responsibilities to be shared by all sectors. Rivers, estuaries and water storages contribute considerably to global nitrous oxide and methane emissions, much of which is anthropogenic contributed by urban and agricultural run-off and wastewater discharges. Through an in-depth study on several rivers, estuaries and reservoirs in South East Queensland, this project will provide data to enable reliable estimation of such emissions in Australia, and deliver knowledge and tool support for the development of strategic catchment management strategies.

由温室气体排放引起的气候变化是人类面临的最严重挑战之一。必须实现大幅度减排，所有部门都应分担责任。河流、河口和蓄水对全球一氧化二氮和甲烷的排放有很大贡献，其中大部分是城市和农业径流和废水排放造成的人为排放。通过对昆士兰州东南部几条河流、河口和水库的深入研究，该项目将提供数据，以便对澳大利亚的此类排放进行可靠的估计，并为制定战略性流域管理战略提供知识和工具支持。
