New Paper: A rapid, efficient, and low-cost way to measure marine biodiversity
A new paper titled ‘Multi-scale marine biodiversity patterns inferred efficiently from habitat image processing‘ outlines a rapid, efficient, and low-cost way to measure species diversity through digital habitat images that require little image processing or interpretation. Using this system marine life can potentially be examined in a much simpler fashion. The paper involves Environment Institute […]

Be a guest blogger on the Environment Institute Blog
The Environment Institute encourages our researchers to get involved. Last year we encouraged our members to share their research with the World, through contributing as a guest blogger on the Environment Institute Blog. This initiative will continue in 2012 and we are looking for postgraduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research associates and academic staff to tell […]

Farewell from Mike Young
Three years I took on the challenge of setting up the Environment Institute. Over the years that I have been doing this, I have missed the opportunity to do the policy research that I love. A new opportunity to pursue this research agenda has emerged and I have decided to seize it. Early in the […]
