Welcome to Research at MSLE
From the Associate Dean (Research) - Professor Mohan Singh
Research is the foundation of any great university. The School of Land and Environment (MSLE) is a research-intensive member of the University of Melbourne, Australia's leading research University, and recognises that great teaching comes from great research. And great research comes from the imagination, dedication, innovation and hard work of talented people. Research @ Land and Environment provides an insight into the diverse, fascinating and world class research conducted by Staff and Graduate students in the School for Land and Environment. I invite you to explore these pages and learn about what we do, and perhaps how you can be involved, whether that would be by using the research findings, collaborating with us in research or joining us to further your own education.
