About

Erin's overall research profile combines biology with big data analytics to quantify the ecological effects of climate and environment.

She completed a PhD in Marine Biology at James Cook University in 2013 looking at the energetics of coral larvae and how that responds to changes in the environment to better inform dispersal models. After that she moved into the terrestrial realm with projects focussing on modelling native, invasive, and threatened species both within Australia and at global scales.

Erin's most recent reseach involves working with cattle properties in the NT and Cape York to develop data-driven pest and weed management plans using a combination of remote sensing, drones, and AI.

Multi-objective planning in Northern Australia: co-benefits and trade-offs between environmental, economic, and cultural outcomes

Indicative Funding
$592,300 over 5 years (administered by Charles Darwin University)
Summary
This research will create a toolkit to guide planning and management that supports multiple uses of land and water, while maintaining environmental and cultural values. The toolkit will provide a roadmap to assess the potential impacts of current and future development on biodiversity and ecosystems and the influence of different approaches to management. Specifically, the project will examine the links between terrestrial, freshwater, and coastal marine species and communities. In addition, the toolkit will facilitate assessment of the benefits and costs of implementing different management interventions to mitigate threats to biodiversity associated with different land and water uses.
