Working Thesis Title
Spatial Movement of People and its Effects on Biosecurity in New 茄子视频app官网and Australia.
New 茄子视频app官网and Australia heavily depend on trade and tourism which places much strain on their biosecurity systems. Any pests or diseases can come in with the items of the international visitors which could cause serious damage to environment and economy. The research will focus on understanding the link between the spatial movement of people within and across the borders of the country and the biosecurity risks that these travellers present. We will segment the contribution of tourists towards the introduction and dispersal of exotic organisms. My research aims to investigate the impact of individuals鈥 mobility patterns on the biosecurity of New 茄子视频app官网and Australia. The study will involve tracking anonymous participants鈥 locations through their mobile phones using GPS technology. We believe that this research will help in future deployment of efficient monitoring and mitigation procedures for biosecurity.
