Australia is the world's smallest continent but sixth largest country. It has a variety of climates from arid to temperate to tropical. Key physical features include the Western Plateau, Eastern Highlands, Great Barrier Reef, and Murray-Darling River Basin. Australia has a federal monarchy government and GDP per capita of $42,640. Major issues include alcohol abuse, deforestation leading to soil salinity, and overfishing depleting fish stocks. The Great Barrier Reef is threatened by pollution from agricultural and chemical runoff.
While this definition mainly encompasses a very wide range of materials, most items fall into a relatively very small number of material types such as plastic/polystyrene pieces, rope/cord/nets, cotton swabs, and light weight food packaging. Marine debris is a crucial problem; it is a problem like e-waste, where large amount of attention has to be paid off, along shorelines, and in coastal waters, estuaries, and oceans throughout the world. It is any man-made, solid material that specifically gains entrance into waterways either directly or indirectly. In India, it gained entrance into the oceans and coasts through a number of land- and ocean-based sources. Yearly, more people move near the coastal area of the country, and the generation of trash and the potential for marine debris continues to increase. It is necessary to better control the disposal of trash and other wastes, or else continue to find marine debris in our rivers, streams, and Oceans and other smaller water bodies too. The geographies of countries play an important part in their contribution to marine debris
Some animals that live in the oceans can only live in a certain temperature so if the temperature is not the right temperature for the animals, they will probably die.

The Fifth Assessment Report from the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the
most comprehensive and relevant analysis of our
changing climate. It provides the scientific fact base
that will be used around the world to formulate
climate policies in the coming years.
This document is one of a series synthesizing the most pertinent findings
of AR5 for specific economic and business sectors. It was born of the belief
that the business sector could make more use of AR5, which is long and
highly technical, if it were distilled into an accurate, accessible, timely,
relevant and readable summary.
Although the information presented here is a ‘translation’ of the key
content relevant to this sector from AR5, this summary report adheres to
the rigorous scientific basis of the original source material.
Grateful thanks are extended to all reviewers from both the science and
business communities for their time, effort and invaluable feedback on
this document.

background reports at: www.ipcc.ch

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. • AUSTRALIA IS THE WORLD’S SMALLEST CONTINENT
BUT THE SIXTH-LARGEST COUNTRY.
*THE SEA BREEZE KNOWN AS THE, “FREMANTLE
DOCTOR” AFFECTS THE CITY OF PERTH ON THE WEST
COAST OF AUSTRALIA. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST
CONSISTENT WINDS IN THE WORLD.
Australia
3. LOCATION/REGION
27 degrees South, 133 degrees East
Oceania, continent between the South Pacific and Indian Ocean
Australia is slightly smaller than the US.
This picture displays
the size of Australia
compared to the US.
4. CLIMATE
Generally little to no rain (arid)
Temperate climate in Southern and Eastern Australia
Tropical climate in North Australia
6. WESTERN PLATEAU:
-low, flat area that has eroded down
-fossilized sea creatures can be found here
-sink holes and many deserts have developed
7. EASTERN HIGHLANDS REGION:
-highest part of Australia
-tallest mountains can be found here
-“Great dividing range”….slopes divide rivers in this region
9. MURRAY-DARLING RIVER BASIN:
-covers about 14% of Australia
-about half the length of the Nile River
-diverse plants, animals, and ecosystems
*Where the
two rivers
meet
14. LANGUAGE
*18% of Australians speak a language other than English
*Some speak an English dialect known as “strine”
*Long “a” sound is pronounced as a long “I”
17. EDUCATION
Primary School- kindergarten to 6th or 7th grade
Secondary School- years 7th to 10th or 8th to 10th
Senior Secondary School- years 11th and 12th
Schooling is similar across all of Australia, there are a few
minor variations between the different states/territories
18. FAMILY
- Blended families with step parents and siblings are becoming
more common in Australia
- Nuclear family households is the common way of Australian
families, but extended family is still a great support system for
many of Australia’s families
19. RELIGION
Australians are predominantly Christian
There is no official national religion
Immigration has made Australia one of the most
religiously diverse societies in the world
20. CURRENT INTERNATIONAL ISSUE
I. Alcohol abuse is a problem in Australia (similar to the US)
-The Australian Government is looking into the significant health
problems that come with over drinking, and getting that information out in
public places to remind people of the effects of alcohol abuse
II. Deforestation in Australia is leading to the over abundance of salt in the
soil. As a result of the salt in the water streams, it affects the downstream
water quality
III. Overfishing has majorly impacted the waters in Australia. The fish
stocks are currently dangerously low. Illegal fishing plays a part in the
reason why the waters are being overfished.
21. HUMAN/ENVIORNMENT INTERACTION
*Pollution in the Great Barrier Reef due to land based and chemical/nutrient
based pollution. This pollution is from the run off of fertilizers,
pesticides, and many other pollutants. Without stopping this on going
problem, the Barrier Reef will continue to become more and more
polluted.
*Poor Farming Practices leads to the clearing of river banks which then
leads to the main problem of erosion. With the common occurrence of
over rainfall and than drought the erosion levels are continuing to climb
as farmers do not change their practices.
*Loss of Australia’s Grasslands is highly impacting the amount of
biodiversity in Australia. With decreasing biodiversity, the land might be
invaded by different types of weeds and unwanted pests.
