Science Group

Environmental Intelligence

Integrating expertise in marine ecosystem and process modelling, data science and machine learning with PML’s world-class observational and experimental capabilities we are enhancing knowledge and understanding of marine systems, pushing the boundaries of scientific exploration and delivering innovative solutions that transform complex marine knowledge and data into timely, actionable, environmental intelligence.

The Environmental Intelligence research group at PML plays a strategic role in revolutionising our capacity to understand, predict, and respond to marine environmental change. Working in an interdisciplinary way and taking a whole systems approach, we enable evidence-based decision-making across marine policy, management, and industries, underpinning contributions to national and international environmental and sustainability goals, and enhance PML’s leadership in delivering impactful science to support a sustainable ocean.

 

Our expertise includes:

  • State-of-the-art computational models to simulate and predict how marine systems function and respond to local and global pressures across broad time and space scales
  • Integration of observations, model outputs and advanced analysis to empower researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to make more informed decisions.
  • Designing, developing, and deploying autonomous and uncrewed marine robotic vehicles and sensors that enable agile, adaptable and efficient data collection in challenging marine environments
  • Cutting-edge data analysis, artificial intelligence (AI) and visualisation tools
  • Environmental Digital Twins, providing optimised simulations of real-world systems to deliver timely, actionable evidence and support intelligent solutions
  • Decision Support Tools that translate complex datasets, information and knowledge into actionable insights.
