DNA is the essence of life and the original ‘big data’. New technologies are allowing scientists to access and make sense of this information like never before, and they are using it to solve the world’s greatest environmental challenges.

Applied Environmental Genomics synthesises the latest and most exciting uses of genomic technologies for environmental science and management. With an emphasis on diversity of applications and real-world demonstrations, leading researchers have contributed detailed chapters on innovative approaches to obtaining critical management-relevant information about the natural world. These chapters are complemented by perspective sections written by environmental managers who describe their experiences using genomics to support evidence-based decisions.

Ideal for students, researchers and professionals working in natural resource management and policy, Applied Environmental Genomics is a comprehensive introduction to a fast-moving field that is transforming the practice of environmental management, with profound relevance to industry, government and the public.

Oliver F. Berry is Director of the Environomics Future Science Platform at CSIRO. His career has featured a diversity of genomics techniques from population genomics to environmental DNA, and he has worked in application domains from conservation biology to invasive species management.

Clare E. Holleley is a Principal Research Scientist at National Research Collections Australia (CSIRO). She is an expert in vertebrate sex determination and an innovator in the field of historical epigenomics. Her work characterises rates of evolutionary change in ecological, reproductive and disease research.
