Discover how four decades of change have reshaped the Australian Alps’ pollinator networks, revealing what long-term ecological data can teach us about the future of biodiversity, ecosystem resilience and conservation in a changing climate.
Discover how cutting-edge technologies, from satellites and drones to sensor networks and fuel moisture monitoring, are transforming early bushfire detection and helping identify fire risks before they ignite.
By exploring both the clichés and realities of modern travel, this project reveals how young adults negotiate identity, growth, and belonging within rapidly changing global tourism systems.
Join acclaimed authors David Lindenmayer, John R. Baker and Elizabeth A. Baker for the launch of Paddock Trees Under Threat, featuring insights from the book, special guest Senator David Pocock, and an evening of wine, cheeseboards and conversation celebrating the future of conservation.
The Centenary of National Forestry Education Colloquium, hosted by ANU on 6 October 2026, will celebrate 100 years of forestry education in Australia by reflecting on its history, examining current approaches to forestry education, and exploring future ambitions for the profession.
As forests face increasing environmental uncertainty, this seminar examines new approaches to building resilience, supporting adaptation, and preparing the next generation of forestry professionals.
Our International Lunch is a chance for staff and students to come together, share favourite homemade dishes, celebrate the cultures and stories that make up our community, and enjoy an afternoon of great food, conversation, and connection.
Past events
This research explores how climate risks and responses cascade across interconnected systems. It develops practical approaches to help decision-makers anticipate far-reaching impacts, understand systemic risks and identify opportunities for effective action.
This talk explores how biodiversity conservation can work across landscapes with competing priorities, from understanding landholder motivations to examining whether institutions are working together effectively to achieve conservation at scale.

Drawing on engagements across Pakistan, this seminar reflects on strengthening research-policy connections, building research capacity and developing meaningful partnerships, with lessons for effective international research collaboration.
Native bees, giant pollen grains, lizards in a heatwave, and the animals hiding in Canberra's nature reserves - come meet the scientists who study them all.
Join us as two Fenner Honours students present their final seminars.
This seminar explores the recurring dynamics that shape urban climate transitions. Drawing on case studies from Copenhagen, Canberra and Shenzhen, it reveals how governance, collaboration and innovation drive change in different city contexts.
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.
