Overview

Jeffrey Maynard is affiliated with Wilmington University in the United States. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with specializations in ecology, management, monitoring, policy and law, global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, and water science and technology.

The scientist has contributed to various topics including coastal and marine management, coral and marine ecosystems studies, marine and fisheries research, fish ecology and management studies, hydrology and sediment transport processes, hydrology and watershed management studies, and vibrio bacteria research studies.

Maynard's recent published papers include the following:

  • Coral reefs benefit from reduced land-sea impacts under ocean warming, 2023, published in Nature
  • A Manager's Guide to Coral Reef Restoration Planning and Design, 2020, published by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - NOAA Central Library
  • Safeguarding Free-Flowing Rivers: The Global Extent of Free-Flowing Rivers in Protected Areas, 2021, published in Sustainability
  • Coral Reef Resilience and Social Vulnerability to Climate Change: MHI, 2020, published by National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - NOAA Central Library
  • Mitigating local human impacts promotes coral reef persistence under climate change, 2022, published by Research Square (Research Square)

Frequent co-authors working with Maynard include Jamison M. Gove, Gareth J. Williams, Joey Lecky, Eric K. Brown, and Eric Conklin. These collaborative relationships have contributed to multi-authored research projects centered around marine ecosystems and environmental management.

Publications by Maynard have appeared consistently in several venues, such as:

  • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) - NOAA Central Library
  • Nature
  • Sustainability
  • Research Square (Research Square)
  • UNC Libraries

The breadth of fields Maynard engages with spans from applied ecology and conservation science to watershed management and climate vulnerability assessments. Their research integrates both biological and policy dimensions, addressing complex environmental challenges affecting marine and freshwater ecosystems.
