Overview

Glenn De'ath is affiliated with the Australian Institute of Marine Science in Australia. Their research primarily focuses on the intersection of Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science, with specific expertise in Oceanography and Ecology.

The main topics addressed in their body of work include:

  • Coral and Marine Ecosystems Studies
  • Ocean Acidification Effects and Responses
  • Marine and coastal plant biology

De'ath has contributed to scientific literature in notable venues, including:

  • Global Change Biology

Their recent publication includes:

  • "Shifts in coralline algae, macroalgae, and coral juveniles in the Great Barrier Reef associated with present-day ocean acidification", 2020, Global Change Biology

The frequent collaborators on this research include:

  • Joy N. Smith
  • Mathieu Mongin
  • Angus Thompson
  • Michelle J. Jonker
  • Katharina Fabricius

This profile reflects a research trajectory that integrates multiple disciplines to analyze the dynamics of marine ecosystems, particularly under changing environmental conditions related to ocean acidification. The expertise demonstrated in both Coral and Marine Ecosystems Studies and Ocean Acidification Effects is central to understanding ongoing shifts in marine biodiversity and ecological balances in regions such as the Great Barrier Reef.
