Overview

Jeff Ollerhead is affiliated with Mount Allison University in Canada and conducts research primarily in Environmental Science and Earth and Planetary Sciences. Their work notably spans subfields such as Ecology, Earth-Surface Processes, Oceanography, Plant Science, and Global and Planetary Change. The scientist focuses on topics including coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics, coastal and marine dynamics, aeolian processes and effects, marine and coastal plant biology, isotope analysis in ecology, geological formations and processes, and marine and fisheries research.

They have published research in several scholarly venues, with frequent publications in Estuaries and Coasts, Journal of Coastal Conservation, Journal of Coastal Research, Science, and Ecological Engineering. Their recent notable papers include:

  • "Tidal Marsh Restoration Optimism in a Changing Climate and Urbanizing Seascape," 2021, Estuaries and Coasts
  • "Fisheries rely on threatened salt marshes," 2020, Science
  • "A managed realignment in the upper Bay of Fundy: Community dynamics during salt marsh restoration over 8 years in a megatidal, ice-influenced environment," 2020, Ecological Engineering
  • "Novel Applications of Technology for Advancing Tidal Marsh Ecology," 2021, Estuaries and Coasts
  • "Assessing the impact of hurricane Fiona on the coast of PEI National Park and implications for the effectiveness of beach-dune management policies," 2024, Journal of Coastal Conservation

Jeff Ollerhead often collaborates with a consistent group of co-authors, including Nathan J. Waltham, Myriam A. Barbeau, Rod M. Connolly, Gregory S. Norris, and Eric Sparks. Each of these collaborators has contributed to multiple publications alongside Ollerhead.

Their research contributions focus on the dynamics and restoration of coastal and tidal marsh environments, addressing ecological changes, community dynamics, and technological advancements in the field. Studies often examine the impacts of environmental factors such as climate change, storm events, and human interventions on coastal ecosystems.
