Frontiers of Restoration Ecology

 

Repairing Nature

Our research supports the grand challenge of repairing degraded nature to restore resilient and thriving ecosystems. 

 

Sonic Restoration

Organisms respond to sounds in various ways. We aim to use sounds to stimulate organisms in ways that enhance ecosystem restoration.

Soil Ecoacoustics

We look towards ecoacoustics to improve the monitoring of soil fauna, assisting restoration, land management, and policymaking. 

 

Human Health-Biodiversity Links

We aim to improve understanding of links between environments and human health because we are connected by our microbiomes. 

Monitoring Ecosystems

We develop innovative methods and insights to track the condition of ecosystems, with a focus on foundational biodiversity found in soils. 

 

Microbial Community & Functional Profiling

We are applying genomic toolkits to help illuminate the roles of microbiomes in important and diverse contexts, such as supporting plants, ecosystems, and humans.
