Jon Brodie was affiliated with James Cook University in Australia and focused their research primarily within the fields of Environmental Science and Earth and Planetary Sciences.

Their work spanned several subfields including Ecology, Global and Planetary Change, Oceanography, Nature and Landscape Conservation, and aspects of Management, Monitoring, Policy and Law.

Frequent research topics in Brodie's career covered a range of marine and coastal environments, broadly categorized as follows:

  • Coral and Marine Ecosystems Studies
  • Marine and fisheries research
  • Marine and coastal plant biology
  • Marine and coastal ecosystems
  • Coastal and Marine Management
  • Coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics
  • Turtle Biology and Conservation

Brodie contributed to multiple recent academic papers, including:

  • Catchment to sea connection: Impacts of terrestrial run-off on benthic ecosystems in American Samoa, 2021, Marine Pollution Bulletin
  • Land use change in the river basins of the Great Barrier Reef, 1860 to 2019: A foundation for understanding environmental history across the catchment to reef continuum, 2021, Marine Pollution Bulletin
  • Impact of catchment-derived nutrients and sediments on marine water quality on the Great Barrier Reef: An application of the eReefs marine modelling system, 2021, Marine Pollution Bulletin
  • A transdisciplinary approach supports community-led water quality monitoring in river basins adjacent to the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, 2021, Marine Pollution Bulletin
  • Fresh waters and estuaries of the Great Barrier Reef catchment: Effects and management of anthropogenic disturbance on biodiversity, ecology and connectivity, 2021, Marine Pollution Bulletin

Their work was frequently published in several venues, predominantly in the Marine Pollution Bulletin, and also in PLoS ONE, Conservation Science and Practice, Land Use Policy, and Remote Sensing.

Brodie regularly collaborated with various coauthors, including Stephen Lewis, Zoë Bainbridge, Ellen Ariel, Jane Waterhouse, and Adam D. Wilkinson.
