DESCRIPTION
Unique within Australian higher education, the multidisciplinary structure of the School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Management(GPEM) at the University of Queensland combines teaching and research coupling natural and built environments. With an integrated, interdisciplinary approach, GPEM helps educate tomorrow’s leaders facing important environmental issues such as climate change, urbanisation and sustainable development. Our mission is to To understand the processes, structures, and interfaces of natural and human systems and to use this knowledge to create and inform the next generation of knowledge leaders and to help shape policy, planning and management to enhance sustainability.

Impacts of Research
Google Earth Our image processing approaches have been selected by Google Earth for global implementation on their Earth Engine platform, allowing anyone in the world to access and use them.
United Nations
Our research in to protected areas has been widely adopted and applied as best practice globally, with the UN adopting it as an indicator of progress towards biodiversity goals.
Australian GovernmentGPEM builds and supplies models used by Australian Governments to forecast future population growth for planning and infrastructure and human services.
The Joint Remote Sensing Research Program, and our team of highly skilled scientists provide mission critical data to space agencies and their satellites around the world.
Space Agencies
Koala Protection
Our researchers have campaigned to have the Koala listed as a threatened species, ensuring their protection in to the future.
GPEM created an online course to educate urban and regional planners on climate change and its predicted impacts.
Climate Adaptation GPEM developed statutory planning instruments, and was the primary contributor to the development of the Regional Nature Conservation Strategy for South East Queensland.Conservation
GPEM staff worked with Billabong International to develop its organisational carbon footprint and sustainability programs.

IBIS World reports the Australian Environmental Science Services industry is forecast to maintain solid revenue growth of 4% per annum over the five years through 2016-17, exceeding the projected pace of GDP growth of 3.4% per annum and reflecting the combined impact of increased government funding for weather and climate-related research, ongoing growth in demand for mineral testing and further growth in environmental markets.
An online academic integrity tool developed by GPEM staff has been internationally recognised. Almost 100 international institutes have requested access, and it has been completed by more than 30,000 students.
