Dr Aleks Terauds: BSc (Hons), PhD
Research interests
I focus on research that integrates the strategic priorities of the Australian Government and influences environmental policy and management at national and international levels.
My research is largely applied, with a strong focus on improving and delivering environmental protection and achieving conservation outcomes in Antarctica, the Southern Ocean and the sub-Antarctic.
I currently lead the Integrated Digital East Antarctica Program (IDEA). IDEA is a new initiative that will support the data-driven future of Antarctic and Southern Ocean science.
