Led by Professor Nicholas Murray, our lab is located in the College of Science and Engineering at James Cook University, Australia.
ABOUT US
ABOUT US
Welcome to the Global Ecology and Conservation group at JCU. We are an energetic lab led by Professor Nicholas Murray that is set on delivering the research and tech needed to support conservation and environmental management at local to global scales.
We work at the interface of ecology, technology and conservation biology, and have ongoing research projects focused around ecosystem dynamics and species conservation worldwide.
Our base is James Cook University in Townsville, Australia, and we travel and collaborate extensively to engage in primary and applied research and outreach.
OUR WORK
OUR WORK
We publish in a wide range of journals, including in top multidisciplinary journals such as Nature, Science, Nature Communications, TREE and One Earth. We are funded by academic research grants, NGOs, and governments to do the majority of our theoretical and applied research.
Our lab has a strong track record in developing free, open-source analyses, technical resources and data to support environmental conservation. We focus on putting threatened ecosystems on the map, understanding the global distribution and dynamics of ecosystems, and estimating future risks to the environment.
A list of our freely software and datasets can be found here.
