Research Topic

Development of a model to evaluate and monitor the ecological health of the aquatic environment

Research Abstract

As the concept of planetary boundaries suggests, ecosystem conservation is currently an important element in achieving a sustainable society. Continuous monitoring of specific species, called indicator species, is important for ecosystem conservation. However, species identification and population quantification in aquatic environments are generally time-consuming and costly. Methods for more frequent and low-cost ecosystem monitoring are needed to detect abrupt changes in ecosystems and to identify the causes of such changes. Therefore, the goal of my research is to development of a model to evaluate and monitor the ecological health of the aquatic environment. Currently, I am using Species Distribution Models (SDMs) to estimate the state of ecosystems, spatial information analysis and Genetic Algorithms (GAs) to construct models to predict biodiversity from environmental information only.
