The Landscape Ecology and Conservation Laboratory
Based at the Monash University Indonesia, we conduct applied landscape ecology research for conservation planning and environmental management. The aim of our research is to support on the ground environmental and social actions using evidence-based decision-making tools and by developing spatially explicit socio-ecological data. We work with non-government environment organizations, local and regional government, and private industry. The research we conduct is primarily based on spatial analysis including remote sensing, spatially explicit ecological modelling, and participatory GIS, however, we also conduct social research.
Research in Indonesia and Southeast Asia
Project topic areas
Our research focuses on the application of application of integrated socio-environmental approaches, along with spatially explicit modelling and remote sensing. Our current research areas include sustainable urban planning, natural resource management, extractive industries and biodiversity conservation. We have undertaken research across the world from Oceania to Southeast Asia and Europe and has a successful track record of applying landscape ecology methods to a broad range of cross-cutting areas with ongoing projects in the following areas: 1) modelling threats to the environment from infrastructure development and resource extraction using big environmental data and machine learning, 2) applications of Nature-based Solutions to urban sustainability; and 3) supporting socio-environmental change with interdisciplinary approaches to modelling and collaborating across environmental domains and disciplines.
