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 seminar will explore the Atlas of Living Australia (ALA). The ALA is Australia’s national biodiversity data infrastructure which harmonises the nation’s biodiversity data to support world-class science and decision-making.
In this seminar, Dr. Jasper Montana will outline plans for a developing research programme intended to direct greater attention towards the relationship between people and nature as a site for careful and considered monitoring and intervention.
The Jack Westoby Lecture recognises the contribution to forestry internationally by Jack Westoby (1912-1988).
The Biennial Lecture Series was initiated in 1997 and is made possible by the generosity of the Westoby Family.
This seminar will provide an overview of the role of carbon offsets in Australian climate policy and an introduction to the scandals and debates concerning their integrity.
Join us at the Fenner School for a discussion on the progress of environment policy over the past twenty years, and the launch of the 3rd edition of the book: Environment and Sustainability: A Policy Handbook (Federation Press).
Indigenous Ways of Being, Knowing & Doing – A Valuable Pathway for Surviving Our Compounding Existential Crises and Thriving Again?
Join us to welcome the new and returning Fenner BENSU students. Come along and meet the new cohort of Fenner Bachelor of ENvironment and SUstainability students.
Illegal use of natural resources, such as logging, fishing, mining, and poaching, varies widely in scale, actors, and governance. This presentation explores patterns linking legality and legitimacy, under-researched activities, and governance responses, offering a framework for comparison and analysis.
Environmental monitoring of ecosystems within waterways and riparian corridors is challenging due to constraints on the spatio-temporal coverage that can be reached by extension workers and environmental regulators. Spatial prioritisation may support the planning for allocation of finite resources for monitoring, conservation and rehabilitation.
