Stay at the University of Queensland

Sara Vallecillo has completed a five month stay (jan-june, 2009) at the spatial ecology lab of Hugh Possingham in Brisbane, Australia. Thiis lab is part of the AEDA research center (Applied Environmental Decision Analysis). During this stay we have been investigating the integration of fire risk and landscape dynamics in the process of optimal reserve design. Landscapes are likely to change in the future and the integration of uncertainty in conservation planning is one of key challenges ahead.
