Research and student experience videos from Fenner School of Environment & Society.
Fenner ecologists and a cohort of New South Wales Local Aboriginal Land Councils are joining together on a project to re-introduce cultural burning in box-gum grassy woodlands and to monitor the environmental outcomes of the burns.
Fenner researcher Belinda Wilson is bringing Eastern Quolls back to the mainland of Australia at Mulligans Flat, an urban sanctuary on the edge of Canberra.
The ANU Research Forest at the National Arboretum Canberra is proving to be an ideal place to "see" trees and forests in a new way.
Each year a group of ANU students visit Kosciuszko National Park to get hands-on experience of how all the different elements of the environment, including soils, geology, climate and ecology, interact.
Don’t get us wrong, you can learn a lot about environment management on campus. But getting your hands dirty at the National Arboretum Canberra gives you a whole new perspective.
It might look like they’re playing with fire, but these ANU students are participating in cutting-edge research that helps us better prepare for the inevitable bushfires that occur across Australia every year. Fire in the Environment is a course that explores a range of themes concerning bushfires.
In January 2018 a group of 25 students touched down in Ho Chi Minh City and commenced a 3-week field school in Vietnam. Supported by the New Colombo Plan, the students learned first-hand about the big challenges faced by the region. In this video hear from the participants about what they got out of the trip.
Australia’s forests are among the most fire-prone in the world and satellite monitoring could greatly help to predict and mitigate bushfires before they occur. This space-based monitoring will be one step closer thanks to upcoming research from Dr Marta Yebra of the Australian National University.
Climate History Australia launched a new citizen science project to create the longest daily weather record for Australia. In June this year, our team released ground-breaking research that showed an increase in heatwaves, as well as a decrease in cold extremes in Southern Australia, since 1838.
