Overview

Hilary Kennedy is affiliated with Bangor University in the United Kingdom, where their research focuses primarily on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences. Their work spans a broad spectrum within these fields, incorporating ecological, oceanographic, and management aspects of coastal and marine environments.

Their research topics include:

  • Coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics
  • Marine and coastal plant biology
  • Coastal and marine management
  • Coral and marine ecosystems studies
  • Coastal and marine dynamics
  • Isotope analysis in ecology
  • Land use and ecosystem services

Kennedy has made significant contributions to the understanding of blue carbon and coastal ecosystem carbon storage through multiple publications. Their recent papers include:

  • "Species Traits and Geomorphic Setting as Drivers of Global Soil Carbon Stocks in Seagrass Meadows" (2022) published in Global Biogeochemical Cycles
  • "Future Mangrove Carbon Storage Under Climate Change and Deforestation" (2022) published in Frontiers in Marine Science
  • "Losses of Soil Organic Carbon with Deforestation in Mangroves of Madagascar" (2020) published in Ecosystems

Besides their own publications, Kennedy frequently collaborates with other researchers active in marine and coastal ecosystem science. Their most frequent coauthors include:

  • Catherine E. Lovelock
  • Peter I. Macreadie
  • Daniel A. Friess
  • Óscar Serrano
  • Carlos M. Duarte

The main publication venues where Kennedy's research has appeared multiple times are:

  • Frontiers in Marine Science
  • Nature Communications
  • Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science
  • Marine Policy
  • Global Change Biology

Within the broader context of environmental science and earth sciences, Kennedy's subfield focus aligns with ecology, oceanography, management, monitoring, policy and law, as well as earth-surface processes and global and planetary change. This interdisciplinary approach reflects the complexity of coastal and marine systems addressed in their work.
