Overview

Chris Harrod is affiliated with the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom, focusing on environmental science with a significant emphasis on ecology. Their research portfolio encompasses a range of subfields including ecology, global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, oceanography, and oncology.

Their work centers on several main topics such as isotope analysis in ecology, fish ecology and management studies, marine and fisheries research, marine bivalve and aquaculture studies, marine animal studies, environmental DNA in biodiversity studies, and geology and paleoclimatology research.

Harrod has contributed to multiple scientific publications, notably in journals such as the Journal of Fish Biology, Cancer Research, Biological Invasions, Marine Environmental Research, and bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). These venues reflect the diversity and interdisciplinary nature of their research interests.

Among recent papers associated with topics relevant to their fields are:

  • Salt to conserve: a review on the ecology and preservation of hypersaline ecosystems, 2021, Biological reviews/Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society
  • 'White gold' guano fertilizer drove agricultural intensification in the Atacama Desert from ad 1000, 2021, Nature Plants
  • Variability in δ13C and δ15N trophic discrimination factors for teleost fishes: a meta-analysis of temperature and dietary effects, 2021, Reviews in Fish Biology and Fisheries
  • Functional changes in benthic macrofaunal communities along a natural gradient of hypoxia in an upwelling system, 2021, Marine Pollution Bulletin
  • NEOTROPICAL FRESHWATER FISHES: A dataset of occurrence and abundance of freshwater fishes in the Neotropics, 2022, Ecology

Harrod's collaborative network includes frequent co-authors such as Daniel Gomez-Uchida, Kolin C. Hribar, Julia Schüler, Edwin J. Niklitschek, and Claudio Quezada-Romegialli, indicating active partnerships across diverse research projects.

In addition to journal articles, Harrod has published a book titled El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effects on fisheries and aquaculture (2020) with FAO eBooks, contributing to the understanding of climate phenomena and their impacts on fisheries.
