Dr Lucieer is applying her expertise in marine habitat mapping to help develop monitoring techniques which can be used to map, characterise, understand and manage our oceans’ biodiversity.
Current activities
Vanessa is a senior research scientist in Theme 1- National monitoring, evaluation and reporting. This theme will contribute towards two goals: first, for a sustained national environmental monitoring strategy designed to evaluate marine ecosystem health, and second, for a sustained monitoring strategy to help manage the Commonwealth Marine Reserve Network (focussing on the Southeast Marine Region).
Background
Vanessa Lucieer has experience in developing marine spatial analysis techniques for benthic habitat classification for marine resource management. She has experience in both shipboard acoustic data acquisition and processing. Synthesising these data into spatial layers to be utilised in modelling and mapping of marine habitats is the focus of her current research.
Vanessa is interested in improving information systems for managers of Australia's marine estate and recently was involved in the development of Seamap Australia.
Academic qualifications
UTAS PhD Marine Surveying [2007] ‘Spatial uncertainty estimation techniques for shallow coastal seabed mapping’.
UTAS Bachelor of Science [1999] Double Major in Remote Sensing and GIS with First Class Honours.
