Joanna Smart holds a Bachelor of Marine and Antarctic Science with Honors at the University of Tasmania and completed a Master of Quantitative Biology at the University of Queensland, where her research focused on temporal and spatial analysis of seagrass communities. Prior to commencing at UQ, Smart was awarded the Australasian Rolex Scholarship of the Our-World Underwater Scholarship society, where she worked on research programs across Australia, Europe, North America and the South Pacific. Drawing on a career history in environmental monitoring, Smart’s research aims to explore how hyperspectral imaging can be used to monitor change in live coral and seagrass communities.
Project Title: Developing Capability to Assess Live Coral Cover and Seagrass Species Using Satellite Based Hyperspectral Imagery
