Funded Activity Summary
New-Generation Near Infrared Spectrometer for Ecological Research. Sustainable use of the natural resources of Australia depends on studies that define how ecological communities respond to disturbance and change. An important part of this is understanding how the composition of plants and animals such as insects, change reflecting for example, increased concentrations of toxins. However making large numbers of analyses is expensive and slow. Near infrared spectroscopy is a non-destructive analytical method that allows the composition of materials to be deduced based on their interaction with light. Adopting these methods in ecology will allow many samples to be analysed quickly and cheaply and also stop waste and duplication of analytical work.Funded Activity Details
