Dr Donna Lewis is Associate Director and Curation Lead at the Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network (TERN) Ecosystem Surveillance program, based at Adelaide University. She is also an adjunct member of the Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods at Charles Darwin University.
TERN provides nationally coordinated infrastructure, data and collections for understanding Australia’s ecosystems. In the seminar ‘Australia’s Ecosystems at Scale: TERN Data, Collections and Drone Observations’, Donna will showcase TERN’s capabilities, with a focus on the Ecosystem Surveillance program—including long-term monitoring data, biological collections and environmental samples, and drone-based observations. Together, these resources provide complementary perspectives for understanding, monitoring and analysing ecosystem change across Australia.
With more than 20 years’ experience in field botany, vegetation science and ecological monitoring, Donna leads nationally significant ecological collections and data. Her work advances consistent, accessible environmental data to support long-term ecosystem research and monitoring across Australia.
