Welcome to the Tropics!

TESAG is the School of Tropical Environment Studies and Geography. Our focus is on excellence in the study of people and their environment, bringing together physical, biological and social aspects of the environment. Study in our school offers academic challenges and rewarding careers within environmental science, geography, spatial science, urban planning and marine science.

The School of Tropical Environment Studies and Geography is located in tropical North Queensland over the Townsville and Cairns Campuses of James Cook University. We are on the doorstep of some of the Earth's most spectacular tropical environments. Our Students have safe and easy access to outstanding and diverse natural environments of the Great Barrier Reef, tropical rainforests, coastal wetlands, mangroves and estuaries, woodland savannas and the arid outback Students are able to learn from direct observation of the many examples of world's best practice in environmental management in our region

The School's staff are drawn from a wide variety of disciplines, deliberately brought together to find creative and dynamic solutions to environmental problems and to play an active role in best practice environmental science and management. Research performed by our staff and postgraduate students is at the cutting edge of questions that must be asked and answered in the new millennium about the links between society and the environment.
