Earth & Environmental Sciences (SEES)

Exploring our physical world and how humans interact with it is essential to understanding and managing many of the Earth's critical issues.

Welcome

Our teaching and research programs encompass the disciplinary traditions of Environmental Science, Geology, Human Geography and Physical Geography. From our strong and multidisciplinary base we are developing strategic initiatives in the Archaeological Sciences and in Cultural environmental research. Our staff undertake research in many parts of Australia and at a number of international locations. Students are exposed to this research from the first year of their degree, and have increasing opportunities to participate in it as they develop their skills and knowledge in later years.

"The Distillery" is now officially open.

The wet and dry of tropical Australia: past, present and future.  This project investigates rivers in the tropical 'Top End' of Australia and how flooding and long-term flow have changed over the recent geologic past.  Such knowledge adds important components to our understanding of past climate in Australia, and is crucial in assessing the impacts of future global change on the continent's water resources.
