Come along and support our Fenner Honours and Masters students and hear about all the exciting research taking place at the Fenner School.
Buildings are both a major contributor to climate change and highly vulnerable to its impacts. This seminar explores the relationship between buildings and climate change, focusing on energy use, material demand, carbon emissions, and climate-related risks. The talk will discuss how the building sector can contribute to mitigation and adaptation, and highlight pathways towards more sustainable, resilient, and low-carbon-built environments.
Past events
This seminar explores how leading cities are accelerating decarbonisation by supporting others. It examines why cities act as influencers, the conditions that enable this, and the broader impacts on urban sustainability transitions.

This talk explores why current hydrologic models may underestimate future water risks. It highlights the need to better represent vegetation, soils, evapotranspiration, and uncertainty to improve climate adaptation and water planning.
This talk presents an ARC project supporting the re-emergence of cultural burning in box-gum woodlands. Grounded in partnerships with First Nations communities, it explores how Indigenous-led practices can restore ecosystems and strengthen culture.
This talk explores soil-based carbon dioxide removal methods, including biochar, rock weathering, and soil carbon formation. It highlights how combining these approaches can support climate mitigation while improving soil health and agricultural productivity.
This talk explores how geospatial tools can support Indigenous governance of Country. Drawing on collaborative research, it highlights the need for Indigenous control of spatial data and infrastructure to strengthen stewardship and cultural resurgence.
This talk explores a pilot study testing carved tree hollows in Monga National Park. While some species used them, uptake by endangered gliders was low, highlighting design and placement challenges and the need for further refinement.
Plant Phenomics at ANU: Tools for Research and Collaboration
This talk introduces the APPN-ANU node, showcasing advanced plant phenotyping facilities and imaging technologies. It highlights available services, future developments, and opportunities for collaboration across research and industry.
