Integrated land–sea planning for coastal ecosystems and people
We produce quantitative models that predict how various land uses impact seagrass, mangrove and coral reef ecosystems, and the health and wellbeing of people.
Project leads: Carissa Klein, Amelia Wenger
Maximising coastal ecosystems resilience
We are using data and models to better measure resilience, and manage for resilient coastal and marine ecosystems.
Project leads: Peter Mumby, Catherine Lovelock, Kate O’Brien
Qualitative models
We use qualitative models to identify likely trends in the system, address questions about climate change impacts, and assess the importance of communication in obtaining good conservation outcomes.
Project lead: Peter Mumby
Food web models
We apply size-based food web models so that they can handle the structural complexity of coral reef ecosystems, and investigate implications for fisheries.
Project leads: Peter Mumby, Julia Blanchard (University of Tasmania)
Models of ecosystem connectivity
These models analyse larval connectivity among reefs, which can have a direct bearing on coral reef viability and fisheries management.
Project lead: Peter Mumby
Early warning signals of ecosystem collapse
Using the wealth of spatial data available on system state, connectivity and environmental stress, we are creating tools to infer the risk of ecosystem collapse.
