NESP MaC Project 3.2: Indigenous Environmental Research Network Case Studies, 2023-2025

A 2023-2025 project by the NESP Marine and Coastal Hub, managed by the Australian Ocean Data Network, to develop a National Indigenous Environmental Research Network. The project uses case studies and mapping to explore Indigenous-led approaches to environmental research. Planned outputs include a spatial mapping dataset and a final technical report with policy recommendations.

Use Cases

• Mapping Indigenous environmental research priorities based on the spatial dataset output.
• Analyzing processes for establishing research projects based on the described national perspective of current methods.
• Developing models for Indigenous-led research frameworks based on the conceptual models being tested.
• Informing policy on Indigenous participation in science based on the recommendations in the final report.

Strengths

• Project has a defined scope and timeline from 2023 to 2025.
• Outputs are clearly specified as a mapping dataset and a technical report with policy recommendations.
• Focuses on Indigenous-led approaches, addressing a recognized gap in research involvement.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
