  Our goal is a virtual observatory for collecting, analysing, modelling and visualising the real environment. The observatory will allow scientists to live in their data and to collaborate through it (a form of augmented reality).... (more)
 

System Architecture and Hardware requirements: In the past, environmental sensors were special electronic devices custom-made to perform the function of taking photos and recording bird calls. However, with advances in wireless technology... 
Environmental monitoring and sensing: Acoustic sensing requires more than just dropping a microphone in the bush. Sensors need to be adaptive...

Analysing acoustic signals: Our goal is a virtual environment for collecting, analysing, modelling and visualising the real environment.  Sensors will monitor the environment and can be remotely controlled. Sensor data will be combined with remote sensing data to.... Monitoring koalas on St Bees Island: Around September each year the forests of Eastern Australia come to life with the eerie sound of male koalas producing their deep grunting "bellows". But the question is.... why?
These projects involve collaboration with Telstra, Brisbane Airport and the QUT Institute for Sustainable Resources.
