Environment, Wellbeing and Sustainable Communities

Our research has specific expertise in relation to:

• Environmental disruption and displacement
• The political ecology of resource access
• Vulnerabilities to environmental change and infectious disease

• Agri-food systems and practices
• Biogeography
• The impacts and management of extractive industries
