Dr Elnaz Saki has always been interested in natural remedies even when they lack scientific confirmation. Eager to bridge the gap between traditional wisdom and modern science, she's harnessing the power of plants found in Top End parks and gardens.
Before now, understanding of forest resources has been restricted to the simplicity of tree measurement techniques. In recent years, terrestrial LiDAR has gained attention as a means for a more accurate and non-destructive assessment of tree and plot scale biomass (also woody volume and carbon), while uncovering tree form with a level of detail not realised by competing technologies.
With the increasing frequency and severity of heatwaves, how will some of our scalier friends cope with looming changes to their habitats? Crocodile researcher Kade Skelton has swapped the prehistoric predators for a littler lizard in order to find out.
A species of ray, so rare it has only ever been recorded once back in the late 1800s, has been declared extinct after an assessment by an international team led by Charles Darwin University (CDU).
The Greater Serengeti Ecosystem (GSE) is critical to the economy of Tanzania but living as a neighbour to the protected areas of the region can be extremely difficult. This research has been assessing the effectiveness of benefit-sharing and compensation mechanisms that conservation institutions operate with local people living in and around the GSE.
Groundwater dependent ecosystems (GDEs) are complex and dynamic ecosystems that have varying temporal and spatial dependency on groundwater. Altered connectivity between GDEs and groundwater results in ecosystem decline leading to irreversible change over extended periods. This seminar will illustrate different types of GDEs, characteristics of groundwater dependency and knowledge gaps in their management.
A Charles Darwin University (CDU) water expert who uses ChatGPT to analyse hydrological data in a fraction of time says Artificial Intelligence (AI) could allow researchers to dedicate more time to the world’s most pressing problems.
The Northern Territory’s brightest minds are coming together for this year’s IT Code Fair in Darwin today.
A new program aimed at empowering victim-survivors of domestic violence through sport has launched in the Northern Territory, with Darwin welcoming its first women’s-only trauma-focused boxing program, ‘Knockout Violence.’
Drones and Artificial Intelligence are uncovering ghost nets from 50 centimetres to larger than five metres along the coastline of the Gulf of Carpentaria, proving the success of a program aimed at maintaining the pristine environment of this region.
