About

Wars affect the environment, and the environment shapes war. An expansive yet disparate body of research has developed in very recent years on the histories of war, landscape, militarisation, and the environment in response to increasing public interest in the environmental legacies of contemporary wars.

This blog aims to provide a continuous record of my explorations in this new and exciting field of research, and I hope in time that this will include summaries of new and existing research, responses to news and current affairs, and points of interest emerging from primary research in the archives.

I will be particularly focused on on histories of militarised landscapes in Australia, and on the evolution of defence force environmental policies in the twentieth century.
