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
Join us to learn more about the research currently happening at the Fenner School!
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.
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
The state, dynamics, spatial configuration and characteristics of wildland fuels are critical in understanding fire spread and severity in wildland ecosystems.
ANU Fenner School of Environment & Society research students from across our cohorts are presenting their work in two days of talks

In this presentation, Dr. Kaz Kagohashi explores the factors that influence the autonomy of local landcare groups and addresses the future challenges for the sustainability of landcare in Australia.
Dr. DellaSala will deliver a 45-minute seminar at the Fenner School on Ending forest degradation in globally important primary forests by 2030: are we getting anywhere?
