Funded by the Australian Research Council, CIEHF was created to pursue better outcomes for Land and Sea Country by bringing Indigenous and Western knowledges together to understand the long-term histories and near-term futures of Australia. Our Centre is a collaboration between 29 organisations, bringing together Australia’s leading researchers and research organisations across diverse fields.

The Centre’s research program brings together cutting-edge techniques from Indigenous knowledge, Indigenous science, archaeology, history, ecology, palaeoecology, palaeoclimatology, mathematics, high-performance computing, remote sensing, and genomics. This pursuit is underpinned by an unwavering commitment to respectful, authentic co-designed research with Indigenous partners. Our outcomes will support healthy Land and Sea Country management planning now and into the future, centred in Aboriginal- and Torres Strait Islander-led approaches.
