At Geikie Gorge (Danggu) National Park in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia, we’re using cutting edge drone based LiDAR to improve insight on the impacts of the invasive weed, stinking passionflower (Passiflora foetida), on freshwater crocodiles (Crocodylus johnsoni). We’re collaborating with the WA Parks & Wildlife Service, the Bunuba rangers and UWA, with funding from the Northern NESP hub, to provide solutions that can improve conservation management outcomes. 📷: © Ru Somaweera (@rusomaweera) ... ... #crocodiles #plants #reptiles #plantanimalinteractions #wildlife #ecology #fieldwork #research #scicomm #UAV #DJIMatrice600 #DJI #drone #dronepic #theeceteam #CSIRO #UWA #waparkswildlife #Bunuba #geikiegorge #thekimberleyaustralia #westernaustralia #thisisWA @CSIROgram @waparkswildlife @universitywa @crkennedysurvey @riegllidar

In Fiji we are working with the University of the South Pacific, the Ministry of Agriculture and Monash University to understand the impacts of climate change on staple crops, such as cassava (Manihot esculenta). We are developing insight into how plants invest their limited resources in order to improve future food security, and are using this knowledge to help farmers develop climate change adaptation plans. 📷: © Bruce Webber (@webber.photography) ... ... #cassava #manihot #foodsecurity #climatechange #fijifood #agriculture #fieldwork #research #solutions #futureproofing #CSIRO #monashscience #uspfiji #pacific #fiji @unisouthpacific @csirogram @monashscience

We’ve just completed our annual survey of the freshwater crocodile (Crocodylus johnsoni) population at Lake Argyle in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Here we are working with the WA Parks & Wildlife Service and the 31165 Rangers to better understand crocodile population dynamics. In particular, we are interested in providing management solutions for mitigating the impacts of invasive weeds. 📷: © Bruce Webber (@webber.photography) ... ... #crocodiles #reptiles #herpetofauna #wildlife #ecology #fieldwork #research #theeceteam #CSIRO #waparkswildlife #31165rangers #lakeargyle #Kimberley #thekimberleyaustralia #westernaustralia #australia #thisisWA #discoveraustralia #exploreaustralia @helispirit @waparkswildlife @csirogram

Takeoff for our new @riegllidar miniVUX-1 LiDAR on a @djiglobal RPA. We're using this platform to expand our research horizons into a wide variety of new areas.

We've had a productive few weeks working with @crkennedysurvey and @aviassist to understand the impressive capabilities of our new @riegllidar miniVUX-1 LiDAR on a @djiglobal RPA.

The yellow capok (Cochlospermum fraseri) is known as a calendar plant by Indigenous people in the Kimberley as flowering coincides with when freshwater crocodiles (Crocodylus johnsoni) are laying their eggs. We have just completed our early season survey of freshwater crocodile nesting at Lake Argyle. Working with the WA Parks & Wildlife Service and the 31165 Rangers, we are working towards better management outcomes for freshwater crocodiles and weeds in the Kimberley. 📷: © Bruce Webber (@webber.photography) ... ... #botanising #crocodiles #ecology #science #Indigenousknowledge #scicomm #fieldwork #research #ausgeo #theeceteam #CSIRO #waparkswildlife #HeliSpirit #biodiversity #nature #environment #LakeArgyle #Kimberley #thekimberleyaustralia #WesternAustralia #australia #thisisWA #discoveraustralia #exploreaustralia @waparkswildlife @helispirit @csirogram

We are using photography to find new ways to more efficiently explore the diversity of invertebrates in the vine thicket forests of the western Kimberley. Working with UWA and the Wunambal Gaambera and Dambimangari Aboriginal Coorporations, we visited 36 sites throughout a 21,000 square km region. When combined with cutting edge genomic techniques, we can quickly identify large numbers of species to help prioritise conservation efforts.

Mexican poppy (Argemone ochroleuca) is native to parts of northern and central America and is an invasive weed in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. CSIRO are working with PMMC and the WA Parks & Wildlife Service to produce a more comprehensive database for weeds of the Pilbara, including thousands more records of Mexican poppy. 📷: © Bruce Webber (@webber.photography) ... ... #poppy #botanising #plants #landcare #flora #weeds #nature #ecology #conservation #environment #fieldwork #research #science #theeceteam #CSIRO #waparkswildlife #PMMC #MardieStation #Pilbara #WesternAustralia #thisisWA #australia #discoveraustralia #exploreaustralia @waparkswildlife @csirogram
