Tiny has recently started her PhD as part of the EcoRRAP program at AIMS. She is originally from Montreal, Canada and has been living in Ireland for the last 4 years before returning to Australia. She has graduated with a MSc in Applied Coastal and Marine management at University College Cork and has worked on offshore and landbased windfarm site search models and wind resource mapping, both for research projects and industry.
She is also an accomplished commercial diver with six years of experience in various SCUBA and SSBA work, including environmental monitoring, underwater construction, survey, and maintenance. In July 2021, she began her PhD under the supervision of Dr Renata Ferrari Legorreta (AIMS), Dr Alana Grech (JCU) and external supervisor Chris Roelfsema (UQ).
Tiny has a broad interest in scuba diving, ocean science, coral reef conservation, mapping, and computer programming. Her research on “3D mapping and monitoring coral reefs population and community dynamics”, will use 3D photogrammetry and remote sensing, to improve the spatial extent in monitoring techniques and workflows used to investigate drivers of coral reef recovery and adaptation to climate change.

James Cook University researchers have found brightly coloured fish are becoming increasingly rare as coral declines, with the phenomenon likely to get worse in the future. Christopher Hemingson, a
Researchers working with stakeholders in the Great Barrier Reef region have come up with ideas on how groups responsible for looking after the reef can operate more effectively when the next bleaching
A new study has delivered a stark warning about the impacts of urban growth on the world’s coral reefs. As coastal developments expand at pace around the world, a year-long study of coral on a reef
Alarming new research shows global warming of 1.5°C relative to pre-industrial levels will be catastrophic for almost all coral reefs – including those once thought of as refuges. Associate Profes
Abstract: Molecular approaches have revolutionised our understanding of the systematics and evolution of most branches on the tree of life, including corals. Over the last twenty-five years molecula
Abstract: Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) are a major driver of coral decline across the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and compound upon the impacts of increasingly frequent and severe coral
Abstract: Being a new staff member at JCU, I will start with a short overview of my research. Next I will zoom in on a specific topic that I have been interested in for a long time: the impact of e
Abstract: The harsh truth is that, despite exciting innovations and increases in activity, ocean conservation is not succeeding, at least not fast enough. This is my conclusion from the last decad
