ANU Fenner School of Environment & Society research students from across our cohorts are presenting their work
Managing farm dams, freshwater wetlands, and wastewater lagoons for carbon and biodiversity benefits
Teal carbon ecosystems are freshwater wetlands, like lakes, ponds, farm dams and reservoirs. Equivalent to blue carbon (coastal wetlands), they can regulate greenhouse gases and mitigate the effects of climate change.
This talk explores 8 years of research into New Zealanders' views on using gene technologies for environmental purposes, including public segmentation, framing effects, and insights from a national dialogue to inform policy.
Polar marine environments are rich in biodiversity but challenging to study, resulting in limited and fragmented data. This research uses sponges as a model group to assess the state of online biodiversity data, revealing key gaps, duplication, and accessibility issues. It proposes a framework to improve database integration and highlights the need for better metadata in genetic datasets to support future monitoring and management of these vulnerable ecosystems.
This seminar equips environment, sustainability, and engineering students with structured, evidence-based tools to plan, evaluate, and communicate social and environmental interventions using the Social Change Mapping framework and Theory of Change Canvas.
This seminar shares PhD research on reintroducing the endangered bush stone-curlew, covering survival predictors, cohort learning, wild training, and even a dog-assisted GPS recovery team. Insights offer a fresh recipe for successful reintroductions.
Past events
In this seminar, three academics from the Nanzan University Institute for Social Ethics in Nagoya, Japan, will explore the relevance of the Landcare model, which has been practiced in Australia for many years. They will examine this model through the lens of autonomy and the principle of subsidiarity, offering insights and discussions on how Landcare can be analyzed and modeled from a social ethics perspective.

Alpine pollinators are uniquely adapted to cold, dynamic environments, but face growing threats from climate change. This talk explores how temperature across climates, weather, and microclimates shapes pollinator activity in Australia's mountains, and what this means for their survival.

This special event is a fundraiser for the Cancer Council, supporting vital research, prevention programs, and support services for those affected by cancer. Every dollar we raise will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those battling this disease.
This study combines qualitative and quantitative modelling to understand how water management interventions reshape risks to shared water resources; using the Murray–Darling Basin as a case study.
