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.
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.
Past events
ANU Fenner School of Environment & Society research students from across our cohorts are presenting their work
Find out what an Honours/Masters research year involves at the ANU Fenner School of Environment and Society.
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.

From the mid-1800s to early 1900s, New South Wales saw dramatic ecological changes due to agriculture, invasive species, native animal culling, and droughts. This talk examines how these factors altered native species populations using historical bounty records.
In Australia, where climate debate is polarized, Farmers for Climate Action (FCA) emerged in 2015 as a non-partisan charity uniting farmers with climate science and policy. This study delves into the experiences of New South Wales farmers who joined FCA.
Australian dust storms can be characterised by where they come from, where they travel to and how much dust is transported. This thesis aims to build an Australian dust storm dataset using geostationary satellite Himawari-8 that can be used to analyse these characteristics.
PhD Seminar: Effects of Neonicotinoid Insecticides on Soil Microbial Community Affecting Soil Health
Microbial communities are fundamental to soil health, driving nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, and plant-microbe interactions. This research investigates how neonicotinoids influence microbial communities, interactions and functional potential across different soil types
