As a mega-diverse continent, Australia’s home to hundreds of thousands of species, with more being discovered every year. Despite this, Australia faces one of the highest species extinction rates, meaning that innovative methods to detect and understand our biodiversity are becoming increasingly important.
Advancing technologies like genomics, advanced imaging and machine learning are changing the way that researchers and policymakers respond to climate risks, species conservation and protection, biosecurity and decision-making.
In this webinar hosted by the Atlas of Living Australia, hear from three of our partners to explore how they’ve applied next-generation technology to support Australian biodiversity research.
The ALA receives support from the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) and is hosted by CSIRO.
