Charles Darwin University’s Dr Rakesh Gupta researches how global stock markets and economies are becoming more connected through analysis of factors like trade, education, and politics. His work shows that investment isn’t just about making money – it can help build fairer, more stable economies.
My research focuses on applying Earth observation satellites and unoccupied aerial vehicles for environmental and agricultural studies. I lead the Remote Sensing and Earth Observation research group. In this lab, we use LiDAR, SAR (synthetic aperture radar), optical remote sensing technologies, and AI for invasive plant detection and mapping, groundwater-dependent vegetation monitoring, habitat monitoring, vegetation clearing and fragmentation, and monitoring GHG emissions
Volunteers have shouldered the burden of shorebird conservation in the Top End for more than half a century, but new research from Charles Darwin University (CDU) suggests it’s time for the government to take responsibility for all of the Northern Territory’s residents – including those with wings.
Prof David Bowman (Director of the Fire Centre University of Tasmanaia) will reflect on the experience of running a complex codesigned ‘applied pyrogeographic’ research program, explaining how such multipronged research is critical for sustainable coexistence with wildfire.
