Our research focus is on applying remote sensing technologies to environment studies. In particular we focus on providing useful tools to implement environmental policies and decision-making.

We lead research in the use of remotely sensed data, in situ observations (fieldwork - surveying) and associated modelling to measure, map and monitor the biophysical attributes of terrestrial environments. We also specialise in metric measurements from imagery: vision metrology.
Our research seeks to provide applied remote sensing solutions to inform contemporary terrestrial ecosystems monitoring and reporting. Current large projects include new techniques to describe the fundamental properties of forests (CRC for Spatial Information) and wildfire surveillance / disaster landscape attribution (Bushfire and Natural Hazard CRC).
