Ongoing shifts in the global water cycle amplified floods,droughts and heat extremes in 2025, according to a new report involving an international team of researchers, led by Professor Albert van Dijk from the Fenner School of Environment and Society.

Native forest logging will now be subject to national environmental standards – legally binding rules to set clear goals for environmental protection. But where are the details of these standards? And how will they be enforced and monitored?

What if we could see how dry the vegetation is in near real time before fires start? That’s now possible thanks to a publicly available tool.

In this collaborative project, researchers are working to develop future satellites for fire management by using traditional Indigenous knowledge and collaborating on remote sensing technology to help manage wildfires.

Professor David Lindenmayer is working to advance conservation science while maintaining a positive place for young scientists to develop their careers.

Fenner researchers, Maldwyn John Evans, Chris Taylor and Prof David Lindenmayer explain what needs to be done to restore Victoria’s forest after logging.
