CDTx EDG seminar series #2

by rocioponcereyes on November 12, 2013

On Friday the 8th of November 2013, we had Dr Ross Dwyer (ross.dwyer@uq.edu.au) from the ECO-Lab at UQ visiting us and giving a talk about telemetry and the R-based software that he and his colleagues have developed to analyse the telemetric data they gather in the field-especially to get to know the life of estuarine crocodiles.
He talked about V-track, which is useful software to analyse acoustic detection data (http://www.uq.edu.au/eco-lab/v-track). He also presented Oztrack (http://oztrack.org/) which helps analyse and visualise animal location data (GPS data).
Thanks, Ross!

About

The Conservation Decisions team (CSIRO Land and Water) is a multi-disciplinary group with expertise in ecological modelling, systematic conservation planning, ecosystem services, applied mathematics, artificial intelligence, and decision theory. We’re pioneering techniques in optimal resource allocation, cost-effectiveness analysis, expert elicitation, value of information, multi-objective optimisation and adaptive management. We apply our expertise to diverse problems to inform the recovery of endangered species, management of pests, invasive species and diseases, design of conservation reserves, medical decision making, freshwater resource management and the prioritization of threat management to conserve biodiversity in a rapidly changing world. We solve pressing global decision problems. We do this by connecting big and small data with decision science to determine what actions to take, when and where to get the best outcomes for our bucks, while taking into account the many other competing needs of society.
