In this collaborative project, researchers are working to develop future satellites for fire management by using traditional Indigenous knowledge and collaborating on remote sensing technology to help manage wildfires.
Help develop targeted solutions for rehabilitating salt-affected soils using salt-tolerant plants, biochar, and advanced analysis techniques. This PhD project includes glasshouse trials, chemical analysis, and hyperspectral imaging.
Fenner researchers, Maldwyn John Evans, Chris Taylor and Prof David Lindenmayer explain what needs to be done to restore Victoria’s forest after logging.
PhD Seminar: Australian Alpine Pollinators in a Changing World
Alpine pollinators are uniquely adapted to cold, dynamic environments, but face growing threats from climate change. This talk explores how temperature across climates, weather, and microclimates shapes pollinator activity in Australia's mountains, and what this means for their survival.
Assessing the biodiversity data landscape of polar marine environments: implications and recommendations for enhancing data availability and quality
Polar marine environments are rich in biodiversity but challenging to study, resulting in limited and fragmented data. This research uses sponges as a model group to assess the state of online biodiversity data, revealing key gaps, duplication, and accessibility issues. It proposes a framework to improve database integration and highlights the need for better metadata in genetic datasets to support future monitoring and management of these vulnerable ecosystems.
