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.

The effects of climate change are already a reality for much of the world's population. As we continue into the future, how will we live our daily lives, and tackle the larger political, economic and social challenges which lie ahead? Join us for this panel discussion with climate and policy experts from the ANU.

Wait Wait…Save Our Species! is a live science comedy event where we will dissect and discuss prominent and obscure biodiversity and conservation news for National Science Week.

The seminar will explore the role of foresight and scenario analysis in transformation processes. The role of small-scale agriculture in food systems will be used as an example of how wider system trade-offs and synergies must be considered.

In this seminar, Dr Quentin Grafton examines the water management crisis in the in the Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), looking at the idea of a ‘Post-Truth Water World’.

In this talk, Dr Chris Cvitanovic will argue that a shift in the academic study of science-policy-practice interfaces is needed, towards the study of ‘bright spots’ – situations where science has successfully influenced and impacted on policy and practice.

Reliable water is essential to our lives and livelihoods, but more than half the world’s population suffer from water scarcity. new research suggests that forests and trees play a much greater role in maintaining global rainfall patterns than was previously realized. Could this mean a whole new value for forests?

Open to all students with an interest in weather, climate and oceanography areas with presentations and networking.
