Two of the greatest issues of our time – adapting to climate change and feeding a rapidly growing global population – are placing tremendous pressures on our environments and society.

Together these issues are increasing the economic competition for scarce land, water, energy and nutrients in the pursuit of maximum outputs while societal pressures demand the preservation of biodiversity, social structures and spaces.

The University of Melbourne's School of Land and Environment (MSLE) is Australia’s most diverse university faculty, with expertise addressing these challenges through our teaching and research.

Our interdisciplinary approach applies scientific, social, political and economic perspectives to address the needs of both human communities and the natural environment.

This is a selection of photos from our students, staff and alumni to share with you a little of what study, work and life is all about at our great faculty.
