Advancing Seagrass Carbon Mapping
Muhammad Hafizt
In a groundbreaking effort to map and monitor the types and amounts of seagrass carbon stocks across Indonesia, Muhammad Hafizt, a researcher at the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), is leveraging advanced satellite remote sensing and statistical approaches. His work aims to provide detailed insights into seagrass distribution and carbon content, crucial for blue carbon projects in Indonesia.

Pioneering 3-D Forest Monitoring Research
Tim Devereux
Tim Devereux, a PhD student at UQ, is at the forefront of developing and validating methods for precise 3D reconstruction of forest ecosystems using terrestrial laser scanning (TLS). His work involves creating high-fidelity digital representations of forests to enhance canopy structure measurements across diverse Australian ecosystems through remote sensing simulation.

Making Remote Sensing Relevant for Coral Reef Monitoring
Joanna Smart
In a world where marine ecosystems are under increasing threat, innovative research directly linked to management processes and their information requirements is crucial for their preservation. Joanna Smart is a UQ PhD student whose work focuses on using hyperspectral Earth observation techniques to map and monitor coral reefs.
