Alex Campbell
Macroalgae |
Alexandra is a senior PhD candidate at the University of New South Wales with a background in science communication. She works on climate-mediated diseases of macroalgae along the New South Wales coastline, specifically the interactions between environment, algal chemical defences and bacterial pathogens. Alex also works on the impacts of grazers on macroalgae and is broadly interested in how marine organisms and ecosystems may change and adapt in response to climate change.

Melinda is a marine ecologist at the Batemans Marine Park on the far south coast of NSW. Melinda’s ARC research on dispersal and gene flow in temperate kelps has shown that patterns are specific to different oceanic currents throughout Australia and her work has important implications for conservation and management of these important subtidal habitats. Melinda has also done postdoctoral research in the USA on the potential impact of climate change on intertidal habitat-forming macroalgae. Batemans Marine Park.

Sean is an Associate Professor in the Southern Seas Ecology Laboratories, University of Adelaide. He works on relating ecological processes across very different scales of time, space and taxonomy. This work includes understanding the influence of climate and biogeography on the local-scale maintenance and disruption of kelp systems.
Gary is a Professor in the School of Plant Biology, and the Acting Director of the Oceans Institute at the University of Western Australia. He has a particular interest in the demography, recruitment ecology and spatial dynamics of seagrasses and seaweeds. Gary’s interests and experience also include habitat mapping, marine biodiversity and conservation, spatially explicit population models, and seagrass restoration. School of plant biology, The University of Western Australia. 35 Stirling Highway Crawley, Perth WA 6009, Australia. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) Pippa Moore Macroalgae |
Dr Pippa Moore is a Post-doctoral Research Fellow in the Centre for Marine Ecosystems Research at Edith Cowan University. Her research focuses on the effects of anthropogenic stresses (e.g. fishing and climate change) on marine biodiversity and community dynamics. Pippa’s previous research, which used time-series data of up to 50 years, has been invaluable in separating natural fluctuations in species abundances, distributions and phenology from those associated with anthropogenic climate change. School of Natural Sciences, Edith Cowan University. 270 Joondalup Drive, Joondalup WA 6027, Australia. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Bayden is a Senior Research Associate in the Southern Seas Ecology Laboratories, University of Adelaide. His work focuses on integrating our understanding of contemporary perturbations of ecosystems with the predicted effects of climate change. The goal of this research is it to identify mechanisms and management scenarios to mitigate the effects of climate change, increasing the resilience of marine ecosystems. The University of Adelaide. SA 5005, Australia. .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Dan is a Research Associate at the Oceans Institute, University of Western Australia. He works on describing patterns of marine benthic structure and biodiversity, and understanding the processes that drive them. Recently, his work has focussed on the effects of climate change factors on the recruitment and development of invertebrate assemblages. He has worked extensively in the icy waters of Antarctica, and is currently enjoying the warmer waters - and the diverse assemblages that they support - of Western Australia.
Peter Steinberg is a Professor of the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences at The University of New South Wales, Joint Director of UNSW’s Centre for Marine Bio-Innovation, and inaugural Director and CEO of the Sydney Institute for Marine Science. He has studied seaweeds and their natural enemies for over 25 years, and currently focuses on the interaction between seaweeds and their resident bacterial communities, especially with regards to the impact of disease. Other research interests include the biology of bacterial biofilms and bacterial signalling, and fouling and antifouling in natural communities and on human-built structures.
