Ecosystem Management
Ecosystem management is a collaborative and integrative research field that is constantly evolving to meet the challenges of sustainable development, climate change and environmental degradation. Our academics work across both managed and protected landscapes combining cutting edge field and laboratory research techniques, traditional knowledge systems and emerging technologies. We aim to determine resilient, adaptive solutions to sustain ecosystem integrity, functions and services whilst meeting social, economic and cultural needs within changing national and international policy frameworks.
We focus on integrating rigorous science with management for optimising productivity and biodiversity in aquatic systems. Our current focus is on ecosystem processes and rehabilitation of Australian The NSW Environmental Trust has awarded the University of New England $14.6 million to tackle the devastating impact feral cats are having on NSW wildlife. This is the largest single grant ever awarded in NSW towards the control of feral cats and will fund innovative, on-ground research at sites in northern, southern and western NSW. The Mammal Ecology Group (MEG) is made up of staff and students with a passion for mammal research... Our research develops globally significant understanding and solutions to the biodiversity conservation in flora. Our projects range from systematics and pollination processes through to the genomics of adaptation and speciation in plants... The Earth Observation research group (EOG), University of New England (UNE), focuses on the interface of environmental science, Earth Observation (EO), and natural resource management bringing to the forefront technological and scientific advancement. Research conducted by this group develops globally significant understanding and solutions to the extinction crisis and loss of terrestrial ecosystem services from local to planetary scales as a result of unsustainable development... Mapping the Future of Spatial Solutions serves as the guiding vision for our lab, bridging the gap between complex spatial theory and actionable real-world impact. The survival of threatened species and ecosystems depends on conservation of their genetic diversity and their interactions, particularly in the face of climate change and habitat loss.... The Terrestrial Carbon Research Group applies rigorous science to questions relating to the storage, distribution and cycling of carbon in the terrestrial system.Research Groups
floodplain and coastal wetland & riverine systems...
