Jung grew up in South Korea where she majored in economic geology and geochemistry at Korea University and for her master’s thesis, she worked on the effect of agrochemicals on the shallow groundwater quality and natural processes in South Korea. She also has been studying on determination of oxygen isotope fractionations between rhodochrosite (MnCO3) and water at low temperatures. Having worked in stable isotope laboratory at Korea University, she is quite knowledgeable about a Finnigan MAT 252 isotope ratio mass spectrometer and its automated peripherals, such as a CO2-H2O Equilibrium Device and the H/device. She is currently working for a PhD at the Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian University supervised by prof. Malcolm Mcculloch. Her research topic is indentifying the impact of anthropogenic increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide and Ocean acidifying and global warming to examine implications for long-term changes in the calcification rate of coral reefs.
Scientists have solved the mystery of why some closely-related species of an iconic reef fish have vastly different colour patterns, while others look very similar.Innovative research led by scien
Climate change must no longer be viewed as a “tragedy of the commons”, say researchers from the University of Exeter and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook Universit
A James Cook University scientist is investigating how people’s social networks prompt them to take action on climate change - or discourage them from doing so – in an attempt to help communities
A world-first study has revealed that “robust” reef-building corals are the only known organisms in the animal kingdom to make one of the “essential” amino acids, which may make them less susc
Abstract: Many conservation-minded fisheries management policies seek to reduce the number of landed indivduals. While these regulations have the potential to be extremely effective, they can als
Abstract: Coral reefs are crucial to the wellbeing of millions of people in developing countries, who depend directly on reef ecosystem services for their livehoods. Yet, while research ecosyste

Abstract: Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots of immense socio-economic importance that are increasingly threatened by recurrent mass bleaching events. As rapid climate change progressively red
Abstract: Interdependency across geographical localities and policy domains is a key constituent of complex environmental problems. Problem interdependencies generate incentives for cooperation thr
Abstract: Recreation-based stakeholder groups have achieved substantial habitat conservation in some cases, yet few studies have considered strategic engagement of recreational fishing communitie
Abstract: Coral reefs worldwide are under pressure, with coral cover decreasing and cover of macroalgae increasing on many reefs. Once macroalgae has established, it can be extremely difficult to r
Abstract: The science of conservation biology has mainly been focused on part of the problem of biodiversity loss; the part that deals with the species and ecosystem processes that we want to prote
