CEBRA

Surveillance and analysis reduce the risk of new entry of pests, diseases and weeds and better target the risks that matter most.

Building Scientific Capability themed research endeavours to ensure that science remains effective and cutting edge in an increasingly complex biosecurity environment by building capacity and developing professional networks and collaborations.

Data and Information research involves optimal use of data and information to facilitate better biosecurity risk management.

Data Mining research aims to develop, test, and implement systems and protocols that provide effective and efficient inspection of large volumes of biosecurity data.

Spatial Analysis research contributes to off-shore, on-shore and border surveillance by using spatial models that anticipate the source of biosecurity risks, identify high risk pathways, predict the spread of current incursions and the locations of future biosecurity incursions.

Intelligence research develops and tests tools to assist biosecurity managers to foresee new threats.

Benefit Cost research is about determining the optimal–cost efficient approach for maximising the detection of different biosecurity incursions and managing current and future threats.

Pathways research develops tools and protocols for structuring the information about biosecurity threats on various exposure pathways, including traded commodities, vessels, and natural disposal pathways.

Updates and CEBRA’s quarterly newsletter.

Partnerships and collaboration with the Australian and New Zealand Governments are a major strength of CEBRA. Our research is focused and sharpened by the needs of our policy makers.

Our research partners in Australia and New Zealand provide technical support and extensive professional networks to help identify appropriate researchers who are excited to see the product of their work used in an applied context.
