Applied Environmental Science

A unique resource supporting environmental science programs and research

Unlike conventional databases, this carefully curated collection does not include formally published books or journals. Instead, it brings together hard-to-find grey literature — reports, podcasts, blogs, and other content published by organisations across the public, private, and third sectors — all in one unique, searchable resource. It fills a genuine gap alongside existing journal and eBook databases.

Coverage spans the full breadth of applied environmental science, from climate change mitigation and sustainable resource management to pollution control and biodiversity conservation. Emerging areas such as carbon management, the circular bioeconomy, and climate resilience are well represented, as are the social and ethical dimensions of the field, including environmental justice, indigenous knowledge systems, and geoengineering frameworks..

Social dimensions in environmental science

In addition to scientific and technological innovations, the collection explores environmental justice, indigenous knowledge integration, and the social dimensions of climate adaptation. It features resources on regenerative agriculture, ocean-based solutions, and the health-environment interface, equipping users to tackle complex ecological challenges.
