How can we study wildlife from afar and protect them from human contact?

Murdoch University has, from its foundation in 1974, been a university of difference. Established as the second university in WA, Murdoch has always been associated with environment and conservation, social justice and inclusion, and providing pathways into and through a university education for people who had previously been excluded.At Murdoch, students are encouraged to think for themselves and find new ways to push past the status quo – no matter who they are or where they have come from.

A conservationist’s conundrum is that to study the environment, they must impact it. How can we leverage cutting-edge technologies to avoid the negative impact of this contact and contribute to nature protection? Emerging ecologist <A HREF="http://profiles.murdoch.edu.au/myprofile/margaret-andrew/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Dr Margaret Andrew" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr Margaret Andrew</A> will showcase how her team is using advanced analytical tools and satellite and aerial imagery to inform her research into Western Australian conservation projects, including in the Abrolhos Islands – without having to step foot into the field. Dr Andrew studied at Stanford University and the University of California Davis before joining Murdoch University as a Lecturer in Environmental and Conservation Sciences.
