Advancing detection and understanding of anomalous ecological change (2024-2027)

Abstract

Human impacts are driving ecosystems into new, anomalous states. Reliably detecting these ecological anomalies is essential to better understand how ecosystems change over time, and effectively manage natural resources. This project aims to advance ecological anomaly detection using techniques from complex fields such as banking fraud, cybersecurity and video surveillance. Expected project outcomes will improve understanding of patterns and drivers of both biodiversity and ecosystem change. Tools to reliably detect anomalous changes in complex ecological systems will provide significant benefits to ecosystem management, conservation decision-making and environmental remediation.
