EcoSEM
A simplified and highly visual representation of the different cause-and-effect relationships among the environmental components from which ecosystem function and services emerge.
Deriving faunal function from Zooscan imagery
Digital scanning of individual organisms to calculate size and biomass. This then can be collated with feeding and respiration information to provide improved estimates of population dynamics and overall ecosystem functioning.
TeloStress
Telomeres are the end-part of chromosomes and protect them from progressive degradation. Stress can lead to telomere shortening, in turn causing accelerated physical ageing and decreasing lifespan. Measuring this can indicate sub-lethal stress.
EUTROPY
Model to integrate nutrient loading pathways, ecosystem responses, and management scenarios in aquatic systems. It provides simplified long-term simulations of scenarios across lakes, lagoons, estuaries, and coastal waters.
Micro-CT scanner
An X-ray imaging technique to produce 3D visualization of both internal and external structures of marine organisms (plankton, sponges etc.). It can provide insights on changes in key species functions (filtration, reef-building etc.) in response to environmental changes.
