Integrative Methods & Application

About

Effective environmental management requires an understanding of the interactions between policy choices and complex social, economic, technical and environmental processes. Integrative research methods play a critical role in our ability to identify pathways towards sustainability.

Projects

Researchers undertake projects to study biodiversity and the impacts of fire and invasive animal and plant control on mammals, birds and reptiles inhabiting a range of vegetation types.
