Data science for aquaculture
We're using data science tools and artificial intelligence to optimise the farming of green-lipped mussels and breeding of finfish in open ocean farms.

Cyber-physical seafood systems
We're part of team working to create more value from fisheries by finding new uses—medical, cosmetic, and commercial—for those parts we don't normally eat.

Data science for remote sensing and tree modelling
We're enabling more robust, data-driven decision-making in green city spaces, by studying the management of trees and their impact on the urban environment.

Precision farming technologies for aquaculture
Remote monitoring of ocean farms helps farmers make more efficient real-time decisions when producing products such as mussels, salmon, and oysters.
