Coral Reefs - Coral health assessments based on pigmentation or color rely primarily on the comparison of the coral color with well-established color references. In most cases, the assignment of...

REEF Roundup: 🪸Coral Reefs🐠 and 🐙Marine Conservation🦈 · Episode

🚨 We are #hiring a #PhD student at Lancaster University to investigate the changing ecological outcomes of MPAs on coral reefs. 🪸 🐟 🦈 We're looking for candidates with strong quantitative skills, including machine learning and hierarchical Bayesian modelling. The project is supervised by Prof Nick Graham, Prof Rachel McCrea (Lancaster University), Dr David Bailey (University of Glasgow), Prof M Aaron Macneil (Dalhousie University), and me. This project is funded by the NERC ExaGeo Doctoral Training Programme, more details in the link. Deadline: 9th January Start date: October 2026 Apply here: https://lnkd.in/eeKDznjC Please share widely! Feel free to contact me with any questions.

🌊🐟🌍 Exciting News!  I’m thrilled to announce that I am starting a faculty position KAUST (King Abdullah University of Science and Technology)--KAUST BESE   As part of this, I am truly excited to launch the Integrated Reef Fisheries Lab — Building collaborative, data-driven solutions to enhance the sustainability of reef fisheries and aquatic food systems now and into the future. Our aim is to integrate disciplines and harness data science and collaboration to co-create solutions that (i) enhance the sustainability of reef fisheries and (ii) build aquatic food systems that are sustainable, equitable, and climate-resilient.   📢 We are looking for passionate and collaborative people to join the team and shape its future! 🧪 Open Postdoctoral Projects - Assessing the spatial and temporal variability in aquatic foods’ contributions to human nutrition: https://lnkd.in/daH_v3Yn  - Developing economic reference points for multispecies reef fisheries: https://lnkd.in/dn2W_Ke6 🧪 Open Research Specialist/Assitant jobs - Data science for marine socio-ecological systems: https://lnkd.in/dvr-26aE We also have exciting fully funded or open PhD, Masters and Visiting Student opportunities built within an international network of collaborators. See here (https://lnkd.in/dwuhWAyC) or here (https://lnkd.in/dPMGxSZE) information on how to apply, or feel free to contact me if you have funding and would like to work in these areas. 🎓 Example PhD Projects  - Assessing data-poor Invertebrate fisheries  - Climate-induced community composition turnover on reefs and its implications for climate-resilient fisheries management 🎓 Example Master’s Projects -Assessing the sustainability and food security implications of global reef fish trade  - Embracing uncertainty to enhance predictive understanding of reef systems 🎓 Example Visiting Student Research Project - Harnessing data-science to enhance the sustainability of Red Sea fisheries and aquatic food systems - Applying ecosystem overfishing indicators to coral reefs - Developing predictive models of seaweed nutrient content If you’re passionate about sustainability, fisheries, aquatic food systems, and open data-driven science — we want to hear from you! Please share widely 🙂 🙏 A huge thank you to my previous (Sean Connolly Joshua Cinner Aaron MacNeil Christopher Golden) and current supervisors (Christina Hicks @NickGraham) whose support and mentorship have been invaluable in making this vision a reality.  I also want to thank my new collaborators and partners (especially Michael Berumen) for their support and insightful discussions. I look forward to working alongside these and other brilliant colleagues and stakeholders so, together, we can protect and sustain reef fisheries and aquatic food systems for generations to come! 🌊🐠🌍 | 40 comments on LinkedIn
