We create and share knowledge in smart design, construction and maintenance of green spaces, including trees, parks and gardens, green roofs throughout urban landscapes and cities, and how they can protect and enhance the biodiversity of our native plants and animals.
Research groups and labs
-
Biodiverse Cities
The Biodiverse Cities research group investigates questions related to the ecology in, of, for and with cities.
-
Green Infrastructure Research Group (GIRG)
Creating and embedding knowledge and technologies in smart design, construction and maintenance of green spaces, trees, parks, rain gardens, green roofs and facades throughout the urban landscape.
-
Trees and Urban Forests
Urban trees and green space provide valuable ecosystem services to urban communities. We seek to co-design our research with local government, industry, and the community so that our research impacts are locally and globally relevant.
-
Urban Ecology and Conservation
Focusing on the ecology of urban environments, and practical ways to conserve native species and their habitats in cities.
More research for a healthy planet
We combine research on biodiversity and conservation, atmosphere and oceans, forest and earth sciences, agriculture, and Indigenous knowledge to find sustainable practices for a healthy planet.
