Discover the range of innovative research and software produced by the Environmental Informatics Hub.

Biodiversity management effectiveness

This project will develop an AI tool that finds ways to design better experiments and generate explainable predictions using eXplainable AI (XAI) methods.

Bird-Sensitive Wind Farm Planning

This project develops an interactive planning tool that combines multi-objective optimisation with visual analytics to help planners explore trade-offs between energy production and bird conservation.

Coarse-to-Fine

This project aims to generate high-resolution precipitation data by integrating multiple complementary data sources, leveraging their respective strengths to produce more accurate and spatially consistent rainfall estimates across Australia.

Anthropogenic disturbances on bee pollination

This project assesses the impact of differently coloured bee monitors on honeybee flower visitation behaviour.

ReefPairs

This project develops ReefPairs, a non-invasive, AI-assisted web application that uses underwater imagery to identify Blue-Lined Rabbitfish and monitor their long-term pair bonds as indicators of reef health under climate stress.

Smart EV charging

This project develops a dynamic pricing and scheduling framework that gives each EV driver a personalised menu of charging and V2G options.

Measuring the Birrarung

This project builds a decision-support tool that searches catchment land-use options to find those that best support river health in the Birrarung.

Biodiversity-Aware Grid-Scale BESS Planning

This project develops a biodiversity-aware planning framework that integrates spatial biodiversity data with power-system and economic modelling to identify suitable locations and capacities for grid-scale BESS.
