Welcome to the Applied Environmental Decision Analysis (AEDA) research facility,  funded through the Commonwealth Environment Research Facilities (CERF) programme, an Australian Government initiative supporting world class, public good research.

 

AEDA was established to develop tools and test methods to support transparent decision-making for environmental management. Where possible, we will also provide guidance for organisations wishing to use these new tools.

 

AEDA will focus on three areas of innovation:

Examining why, what and how monitoring is carried out in order to ensure it is done effectively. This theme also examines how much money is spent on what.

Prioritisation and spatial planning

Research on how resources are best applied in issues such as designing reserves or allocating funds for the management of threatened species.

Environmental decision making

Investigating how we makes decisions. This theme overarches everything AEDA does. How do groups of people come to make decisions?

 

The research being done by AEDA underpins major natural resource management efforts such as state-of-the-environment reporting, ameliorating the impact of habitat fragmentation, water management, invasive and threatened species management and adapting to global warming.

 

To learn more about the work of AEDA please take a look at the research we’re involved in. If you like to be kept up to date on AEDA activities please provide your details HERE and we’ll add you to our newsletter list.
