Hannah completed her undergraduate BSc (Hons) at the University of Swansea, UK where her dissertation was on the Anthropogenic Impacts on the Coral Reefs of Roatan, Honduras. She then went on to live in the field in Madagascar for 2 ½ years where she ran the research component of a small volunteer-based NGO conducting a baseline assessment of the tropical marine habitats and developed a number of new survey methodologies. Following her return to the UK she then took two masters courses, the first in Aquatic Biology and Resource Management at the University of Exeter in 2007 that led to field research on Cousin Island, Seychelles investigating the drivers for the lack of reef recovery following the 1998 bleaching event. Later in 2008 she completed her second course in Tropical Coastal Management at the University of Newcastle, which involved a research project on coral immunity at JCU in Townsville. Her PhD now expands her passion for benthic ecology into a historical dimension by reconstructing past reef assemblages to investigate the effect of anthropogenic stressors on the inshore reefs of the GBR in the wet tropics.
An international group of scientists is predicting markedly different outcomes for different species of coral reef fishes under climate change – and have made substantial progress on picking the ‘
New research has found as climate change causes the world’s oceans to warm, baby sharks are born smaller, exhausted, undernourished and into environments that are already difficult for them to survi
A new study shows the coastal protection coral reefs currently provide will start eroding by the end of the century, as the world continues to warm and the oceans acidify. A team of researchers led
A team of scientists led by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (Coral CoE) won one of the nation’s top science awards at tonight’s ‘Oscars of Australian science’, the Eureka P
Abstract: It is a little over a decade since research commenced into the effects of anthropogenic ocean acidification on marine fishes. In that time, we have learned that projected end-of-century
Abstract: Increased uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere has caused the world’s ocean to become more acidic. Different marine habitats are known to have varying ranges of CO2 across mul
Abstract: The Allen Coral Atlas (http://allencoralatlas.org) partnership uses high-resolution satellite imagery, machine learning, and field data to map and monitor the world’s coral reefs at unp
Abstract: Climate change is causing the average surface temperature of the oceans to rise and increasing the frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves. In addition, absorption of additional CO2
Abstract: Marine environments are a concealing medium, where observations of natural fish behavior are challenging. In particular, the geographic and depth distributions of migratory top predators ar
Abstract: Invasive species management can be the the subject of debate in many countries due to conflicting ecological, ethical, economic, and social reasons, especially when dealing with a species s
Abstract: Ocean acidification, the increase in seawater CO2 with all its associated consequences, is relatively well understood in open oceans. In shelf seas such as the Great Barrier Reef, processe
Abstract: The backdrop of legends and movies, the deep sea has always been unfathomable because we had no idea what existed there. Once thought to be barren of life, we now know this couldn’t be
