"What controls earth long-term climate?"
was an idea proposed by Prof Adi Maulana, the head of The Center of Disaster Study Universitas Hasanuddin in the matchmaking batch one meeting in Boston, Massachusetts at the end of 2019. The proposal is a part of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)-Indonesia Research Alliance (MIRA).
This program brought together researchers from Indonesia and collaborated with professors at MIT in developing strategic research topics, including energy,
biotechnology, economic, health, and transportation. Indonesia is rich with geological formations that allow us to understand the earth phenomenon, including climate change. The geological research collaboration between Prof Adi Maulana and Prof Oliver Jagoutz from MIT includes analysing tectonic events that are connected to the global climate.

Indonesia is known as one of mega biodiversity center in this universe, covering the largest portion of Coral Triangle Area and home for extensive coral reefs. The research found, however, many of Indonesia coral reefs are heavily degraded due to high anthropogenic effects and environmental changes. UNHAS, through the Center of Excellence for Marine Resilience and Sustainable Development, led by Prof Jamaluddin Jompa, takes a role in
international collaboration under the 4D-REEF Consortium. This collaboration aims to
investigate the role of turbid reefs for the future of the coral triangle as they respond to
environmental change. The grow reefs in turbid habitats (an area that received terrestrial run-off) is the center of this project as presumably had a significant role in the origins of the formation of reefs in Coral Triangle and potentially have a role in preserving future coral reefs.

In collaboration with Monash University, and international researchers, UNHAS has been involved in the Revitalising Informal Settlements and Their Enviroment (RISE) project taken place in 12 informal settlements in Indonesia. The project is implemented the localised water sensitive cities (WSC) approach to reduce the environmental contaminants. UNHAS team consist of researcher from Faculty of Public Health to conduct health and environmental assessment, while the
researcher from Faculty of Engineering supported development and implementation of the water sensitive infrastucture.

Stunting is a major problem in Indonesia and becomes the priority for the national government.
In collaboration with Global Nutrition &
Empowerment (GNE), Vitamin Angels, and local government of Banggai in Central Sulawesi province, UNHAS implemented a nutrition intervention program in 20 villages in Banggai regency, including in highland regions and coastal villages.

The program was keen to tackling stunting issue in remote areas by providing micronutrient intervention for the mothers as well as nutrition educational program related to nutrition in pregnancy through apps.
