Three significant and internationally respected areas of research

While members of the School our proud of our interdisciplinary skills and capacities, we work from strong disciplinary foundations.

Some of us have training in political science, and the systematic study of political behaviours and organisations and their effects.

Others are human geographers, who work on cultural, historical, social and economic questions.

Some are focused on the scholarship of environmental planning and management.

Others are physical geographers, interested in biogeography or geomorphology or climatology. Some are oceanographers, tracking environmental change in marine environments.

Others still are fascinated by geographic information systems, remote sensing, geodesy and photogrammetry - the spatial sciences.

Beyond these disciplinary skills, though, we all have a passion for interdisciplinary research involving collaboration across the University, around Australia and the globe on a range of seriously important questions at various scales from the local to the global.

Our key distinction? A perfect package of integrative, interdisciplinary skill!
