His interest in research relates to hyperspectral and LiDAR remote sensing for monitoring vegetation, habitat monitoring under fragmentation and climate change, as well as developing innovative image processing techniques. Professor Andrew Skidmore worked for 10 years with the Forestry Corporation of New South Wales (NSW).

Research interests
ERC Grant 2019
The overall aim of an European Research Council Advanced Grant, awarded to Prof Skidmore from 2019-2024, is to monitor biodiversity by upscaling field observations and genomic eDNA information using next generation satellite remote sensing.

Activities in research
Vegetation mapping and monitoring have been his main ongoing research theme, while recent research includes wildlife habitat assessment in East Africa, hyperspectral remote sensing, AI techniques for handling geoinformation and accuracy assessment.
