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
Join us as Aurelie discusses her PhD research on species competition in Booderee National Park. Discover how the rise of the brushtail possum and the decline of the bush rat decline post-fox baiting impact upon each other.
Discover the unique challenges faced by island species at this week's seminar. Explore how Daniel's PhD research on the endangered Norfolk Island green parrot informs vital conservation strategies, tackling issues like habitat loss and invasive species. Join us to learn about safeguarding these unique island dwellers.
How it is already almost December? With that, it's of course time for the annual Fenner School of Environment & Society End of Year party! As usual, we'll have food, drinks & music.

Join us as Prof. Mahmood Hossain, Vice-Chancellor of Khulna University, Bangladesh, takes us on a journey to discover the biodiversity hotspot of the Sundarban mangrove forest.
How can we mitigate the increased threats that native wildlife face following bushfires? Join us as Heather Burns' discusses her PhD research that has focused on how small mammals and reptiles in fire-affected areas respond to the addition of coarse woody debris piles.
Book Launch: Stephen Boyden - A Biorenaissance - the human place in nature, past, present and future
Join Emeritus Professor Stephen Boyden as we welcome his 2023 release, 'A Biorenaissance: The Human Place in Nature, Past, Present and Future’. Prof. Boyden will discuss the essence of what he has learned and what he feels is important from his more than a half century's work in human ecology and biohistory
Impact, legacy & projections: 50 years of interdisciplinary environmental research
The 2023 Jack Westoby Lecture will this year feature two ecologists, Dr. Claudia Romero and Prof. F.E. 'Jack' Putz, from the Tropical Forests and People Programme in the Forest Research Institute at the University of the Sunshine Coast
