The project aims to determine the seasonal changes in the coral microbiome and the influence of thermal stress events on microbial community structure.

Supervisor: A/Prof. Tracy Ainsworth

This is part of a Fisheries R&D Corporation (FRDC) project investigating the portunid crab fisheries in NSW.

Supervisor: Prof. Iain Suthers

In this project you will use experimental ecology to investigate where roots from the seagrass Zostera muelleri get their microbes from – sediments or other plants.

This project aims to investigate how bacteria can improve the growth, health and environmental adaptation of marine seaweeds (macroalgae).

Supervisor: A/Prof. Suhelen Egan

We use observational and molecular methods to investigate the interplay between bacterial virulence and environmental factors, such as temperature, light and nutrients, and natural bacterial inhibitors to understand the development and impact of disease on seaweeds.

To investigate how eco-engineering interventions, such as the Living Seawalls, can mitigate the biodiversity impacts of seawalls, through changes in species interactions.

Supervisor(s): Mariana Mayer-Pinto

This project will assess how different shoreline management interventions (i.e., cobblers, seawalls and none) influence the fish assemblages on nearby seagrass beds.
