Island Arks Symposium
Sustainable use of island ecosystems requires strong inter-disciplinary knowledge bases including terrestrial and marine ecology, coastal engineering, fire ecology, invasive species management, waste management, communication and marketing, and environmental economics.
The Island Arks Symposium aims to bring together practitioners in these disciplines to identify, discuss and resolve management challenges; identifying pathways for long-term conservation of island ecosystems including sustainable use.

| The Planning Institute of Australia | |
|---|---|
The Planning Institute of Australia is the peak body representing professions involved in planning Australia’s cities, towns, regions and places. The Institute brings together professionals and organisations with a shared interest in 'the community, and the education, research and practices relating to the planned use of land, its associated systems, and of the natural and built environmental, social and economic impacts and implications of the use of land'. | |
| Environmental Reporting Tool | |
|---|---|
This is a service provided by the Australian Government that allows the user to find out what evironmental assets of national significance are in a certain area. This includes identification of threatened species, important wetlands, heritage sites, pollutant emissions and more. | |
| Landscape Logic - e-newsletter | Landscape Logic is a research hub under the Commonwealth Environmental Research Facilities scheme, managed by the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. It is a partnership between six regional organisations, five research institutions and state land management agencies in Tasmania and Victoria. The aim of Landscape Logic is to improve the way decisions are made about land use and the resulting effects on water and vegetation. Landscape Logic is focusing on two major knowledge gaps in the current regional investment process. 1. Finding better ways to organise existing knowledge and assumptions about links between land management actions and environmental outcomes. 2. Improving our understanding of these links through historical studies of the effects of past private and public investment on environmental condition in two areas – water quality and native vegetation condition. Subscribe to the newsletter to keep up to date with activities of the hub. |

Software to assist community-based natural resource management groups to develop, document and communicate waterway monitoring plans. | |
Going Green Expo
Going Green Expo is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest products, services and new technologies available for every Australian industry and household to reduce environmental impact, greenhouse emissions, climate change and contribute to a healthier planet.
14th Australasian Remote Sensing & Photogrammetry Conference
The ARSPC is the RS&P Commission’s premier conference showcasing the best of Australasia’s technical and application driven remote sensing and photogrammetry research. The conference also plays an important role in presenting research and future directions from around the globe to RS&P Commission members and the wider Australasian spatial community. The program will include interactive pre-conference workshops, field trips, diverse application based sessions and networking events.
IAIA (International Association for Impact Assessment) 28th Annual Meeting
The conference theme is: The Art and Science of Impact Assessment and the program aims to highlight how the various instruments of impact assessment can assist developers, industry, decision-makers, development cooperation providers, and the public to integrate environmental, social, and other concerns in the fields of: • Climate change • Energy issues • Water • Resource development • Tourism • Land use planning, transportation, landscape and aesthetics • Coastal zone planning and management • Development cooperation • Poverty reduction and the Millennium Development Goals • Environmental impact of trade agreements • Environmental practice in Australia and New Zealand.
Complex Systems Science Symposium
Patterns in our planet: defining new concepts for the application of multiscale non-equilibrium thermodynamics to earth system science. This conference will facilitate a concerted collaborative effort from the mathematical, mechanical, geoscience, atmospheric and marine modelling communities to overcome challenges and ensure a breakthrough in comprehensive earth system modelling.
