CAPIM - Victorian Centre for Aquatic Pollution Identification and Management


CAPIM is a consortium of world class researchers from The University of Melbourne, Melbourne Water, DPI (Vic), RMIT, and EPA (Vic). CAPIM creates a multidisciplinary research team to address the complicated issue of understanding the impact of pollution on the aquatic environment.
Our primary research location is at the The University of Melbourne's Bio21 Molecular Science and Biotechnology Institute (Bio21 Institute) with additional nodes at The University of Melbourne Department of Zoology and School of Chemistry, DPI Queenscliff and Werribee and RMIT University Bundoora. CAPIM has 6 major research streams across freshwater and estuarine environments currently employing 13 full time staff, and running 9 postgraduate projects.
CAPIM's vision is to improve and secure aquatic ecosystem health by developing innovative approaches to pollution detection in inland waters and estuaries, and working with environmental management practitioners to reduce pollution impacts.
