About the Project
About the research project
This PhD project aims to generate critical information to identify and remediate the cumulative stressors affecting shallow water sediment habitats. The project will pioneer ecological reconstructions through reading date-validated shell chronicles embedded in sediment layers at sites across Tasmania. Following this, field surveys will be conducted across Tasmania and globally to characterize key threats. Finally, the project will quantify key species traits and stressors that are linked to high extinction risk.
