Leading Institute researchers talk about some of their work, the importance of their research and motivations for their studies.
Alan Cooper, Director of the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA, talks about using geological records to guide modern conservation and management decisions. As well as current research on climate change and the impact it has on extinction.
Andy Lowe, Director of the Australian Centre for Evolutionary Biology and Biodiversity, talks about biodiversity corridors in the Adelaide Hills and designing biodiversity corridors to assist with species migration.
Barry Brook and Corey Bradshaw, co-Directors of the Global Ecology Laboratory, discuss the effects of climate change on deforestation, habitat loss and invasive species. They talk about capturing these relationships in models to help make predictions about future extinction risk.
Bronwyn Gillanders, Director of the Marine Biology Program, talks about the Spencer Gulf Project, the giant Australian cuttlefish and the Olympic Dam expansion.
Gus Nathan, Director of the Centre for Energy Technology, discusses developing hybrid models for energy and reducing fine particle emissions.
