Research in Indonesia and Southeast Asia

​

Our research focuses on the application of application of integrated socio-environmental approaches, along with spatially explicit modelling and remote sensing. The 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.
