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.
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 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.
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 talk will explore a journey from communication back to social science research, asking questions like - 'How do scientists feel about climate change?' and 'Can group therapy create a safe space for climate scientists to explore their feelings around climate change?'
