Other research areas in Environmental Science:
Sydney Catchment Authority - Macquarie University Collaborative Research Project on fire and other catastrophic events.
Senior Research and Post-doctoral Fellows who are not full time members
of academic staff can contribute to postgraduate training as Associate
Supervisors. Additional areas of interest include: soils, phytolith
studies (Hart); urban air quality (Hyde); geoarchaeology, land
management, soils (Mitchell); soils, landscape evolution (Paton);
vegetation dynamics, palynology (Norris).
Research Centres and Networks Affiliated with the Department
Two world-class research Centres are associated with Environmental Science:
Risk Frontiers (NHRC - Natural Hazards Research Centre)
ARC Research Network for Earth System Science
From
2005, we also play host to the ARC Research Network for Earth System
Science. This Network incorporates data collectors, modellers and
impacts researchers to address the impacts of climate change and
variability on Human, biological and physical systems. Our capacity to
adapt to changes in water availability, agricultural productivity, the
likelihood of species extinctions, and risks to human health will be
enhanced through the Network's use of frontier technologies. The
enhanced capacity to use data and model the Earth System will allow
policymakers to make more informed decisions with regard to water,
biodiversity, human health, industry and agriculture sustainability;
thereby enhancing the national capacity to respond to climate change
and variability and securing our common interest.
Environmental Science houses an impressive thesis collection covering a wide range of subject matter. Theses are not generally taken off campus, but can be accessed via the Department's administration office.
