The Planetary Health Division, based at School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, is working to address the health of humanity in the context of dynamic social and environmental systems. The Division houses environmental and occupational health researchers, infectious disease epidemiologists and global health researchers, and its flagship programs include Climate, Air Quality Research; Global and Women's Health; Hazelwood Health Study; Infectious Diseases Epidemiology; and the Monash Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health (MonCOEH).
Monash Science has deep expertise and many scientists at the forefront of climate change research. This included the Atmosphere and Climate research group at the School of Earth, Atmosphere & Environment, which undertakes world-leading research in areas including boundary layers, climate change, clouds, convection, aerosols (including cloud seeding), mesoscale meteorology, numerical modelling, tropical meteorology, and bushfires and fire weather.
Monash is part of the Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes, an international research consortium of five Australian universities and a network of outstanding national and international partner organisations supported by the Australian Research Council. The Centre works to improve our understanding of the processes that trigger or enhance extremes and build this understanding into our modelling systems. The improved predictions of climate extremes will help Australia cope with extremes now and in the future.
Monash Art, Design and Architecture’s research strives to enrich the human experience through transformational design and visual practice. Creative and critical research empowers us to reimagine the needs, challenges and aspirations of cities and drive meaningful change. Working with diverse communities and cultures, and across constructed and ecological environments, MADA's research helps to propel us all towards greater sustainability, understanding and equity. In its first issue of R:ADAR, MADA shows how its researchers in collaboration with government, industry and the community are delivering environmental, economic and social impact for Climate Action.
