Research and Application Interests:
• Remote sensing for monitoring coral reefs, seagrass and mangrove habitats
• Field methods and community involvement for calibration and validation of remotely sensed imagery in marine environments
• Using remote sensing as an ecosystem health indicator in marine environments.

Marine remote sensing projects:
• Coral Reefs (Change Detection, Reef Check, Video Surverys and Image Classification)
• Developing field calibration and validation methods for substrate classification.
• Mapping seagrasses in Moreton Bay
• Monitoring Lyngbya majuscula in Moreton Bay
• Monitoring Coral Bleaching, Great Barrier Reef
• Development of Underwater Spectrometer
• Conserving the Marine Biodiversity of Marovo Lagoon, Solomon Island
• Mapping coastal waterquality.
• Mapping historical change of mangrove communities along Queensland Coastline
• Phd Research
