Dr Alistair Hobday completed a BSc (Hons) in Biological Science at Stanford University, a PhD in Biological Oceanography at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and held a National Research Council Postgraduate Fellowship at the Pacific Fisheries Environmental Laboratory in Monterey, California. He is presently a Senior Research Scientist at CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research. His research spans a range of topics, including spatial management and migration of large pelagic species, environmental influences on marine species, and the impacts of climate change on marine resources. He leads the Marine Climate Impacts area within the CSIRO Climate Adaptation National Research Flagship, and has been co-editor of two recent reports on the impacts of climate change on (i) fisheries and aquaculture, and (ii) Australian marine life. In addition to his climate research, Alistair has co-led the development of risk assessment methods for assessing the ecological sustainability of Australia’s fisheries. He is a member of the steering committee for the international GLOBEC program CLIOTOP (Climate Impacts on Top Ocean Predators).

Tim Ward
Pelagic Fish |

Associate Professor Tim Ward conducts research to support the ecologically sustainable utilization and conservation of living marine resources. His Ph.D. was on the impacts of demersal trawlers on the sea snakes of northern Australia. Currently, Tim leads the Wild Fisheries Program for the the South Australian Research and Development Insitute (Aquatic Sciences). He has led major national projects and published extensively on the biology and ecology of pelagic fishes. As an ex-commercial fisherman, Tim maintains a strong interest in assisting fishing industry to mitigate the ecological impacts of fishing. Tim has led several large multidisciplinary studies on the benthic and pelagic ecology of the Great Australian Bight. In his roles as an Associate Professor at Flinders University and affiliate senior lecturer at the University of Adelaide, Tim has supervised honours and doctoral students across a range of disciplines. He has published approximately 40 scientific papers and 90 peer-reviewed reports.
