PhD Final Seminar

In this Jack Westoby Lecture, Dr. Daniela Kleinschmit will present some evidence about women in forest sciences, focusing on graduates and their professional life, perceptions and ideas for the future articulated by today’s female forestry students and about trends of women in leadership roles in forest sciences. She will draw from these to propose ideas for activities fostering women’s roles in forest sciences, in particular through international forest science networks.

Melanie’s PhD project looks at financing ‘Loss and Damage’ (L&D) from climate change in Small Island Developing States following the formal inclusion and recognition of the concept under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

In this seminar, Dr Saideepa (Deepa) Kumar will examine the environmental and economic challenges associated with agriculture irrigation in Tasmania.

This panel brings together researchers and from the Netherlands and Australia to share their perspectives and discuss their experiences. Case studies include an irrigation co-operative in the Murrumbidgee, projects in Tasmania, Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) in the Murrumbidgee, and water policy in New South Wales.

Final Seminar from Elle Bowd

In a world with increasing pressures on freshwater systems, sensible management of them is becoming ever more important. This presentation includes an overview of global Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) innovations for banking water and increasing water security and resilience to climate change, droughts and floods.

HDR seminar - Thesis Proposal Review

HDR seminar - Final Presentation

HDR seminar - Thesis Proposal Review

This talk will present some of the rules designed by these user groups and will discuss the extent to which the French model is achieving an effective control on agricultural extraction in coherence with the spatial and temporal variability of water resources.

HDR - Mid Term Review seminar

HDR - Thesis Proposal Review

Transforming cities and infrastructure is a key prerequisite to achieve sustainable, resilient, and liveable society. This event will bring prominent international urban researchers and practitioners together with experts from the ACT to explore the challenges we face in our urban environments.

A memorial lecture will be held to honour the legacy of Prof Patrick Troy AC and announce the recipient of the Patrick Troy Memorial Prize.

HDR - Final Oral Presentation

HDR - Thesis Proposal Review

This talk will focus on the current state of knowledge in a range of Australian food crops and discuss how fundamental knowledge of pollinator community ecology combined with grower collaboration and expertise, are essential components in understanding the dynamics of pollinator-dependent crop production.

In this seminar, Dr John Dargavel will explore the seemingly impossible project of trying to understand how we experience the environment in our everyday life.

Thesis Proposal Review

ANU Learning Communities has been engaging in environmental discussions through the Great Green Debate. This year we ask: 'Should Australia Declare a Climate Emergency?'

This seminar will look at how accounts for forests, marine areas and urban areas have been developed and how they might inform various analytical and decision-making processes in United Kingdom. It will also examine what we might learn from the UK experience for the application of NCA in Australia.

Mid-term Review presentation

Circular Economy has become a major buzzword in sustainability science and policy. In the forest sector as well as in other commodity sectors, recycling, re-using and remanufacturing are seen as a way to reduce consumption and conserve ecosystems. Can this concept really help to change the pathway of our economies?

In this seminar we will discuss the international context for long-term emissions strategies and consider issues that inform a strategy for Australia.

All Affiliates and Fenner School staff and students welcome. A light lunch will be provided, followed by a series of short seminars.

In this seminar, Dr Sally Box (Threatened Species Commissioner) will share results from the recently completed Year 3 progress report for the Threatened Species Strategy, including how the report’s outcomes will help focus future efforts to best support threatened species.

Our next HDR Symposium will be held on Thursday 29 August. All staff, students (HDR, Postgraduate and Honours) and affiliates are invited to participate in this event.

Plummeting crop diversity threatens food system resilience globally. While across the industrial world, farmers and breeders are increasingly relying on off-farm procurement and conservation of seeds, on-farm seed saving is still critically important.

Green Institute Executive Director, Tim Hollo, presents a theory of ecological democracy which seeks to apply the fundamentals of ecology to politics, articulating a vision of interconnection, interdependence, and resilience in diversity. Active, constructive critique and participation are welcome.
