ALA Webinar: Exploring next-gen biodiversity detection technologies

Access to high-quality biodiversity data is more essential than ever in understanding and responding to changes in our natural environment. This information is used for informing planning, policy and decision-making and delivering research. Through the Atlas of Living Australia, more than 135 million species occurrence records are available as open data, with rich information accompanying these records such as images, location, spatial, genetic and related data.

By enhancing traditional methods to monitor species with novel technologies, a more comprehensive view of Australia’s biodiversity can be developed. To celebrate Biodiversity Month in September, hear from three speakers discuss their use of ecoacoustics, eDNA and camera trapping as innovative methods to enhance our ability to detect and monitor biodiversity in Australia.

This event will be recorded, with the recording made available through ALA channels in the week following the event.

The ALA receives support from the Australian Government through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) and is hosted by CSIRO.
