Overview

Michael Rasheed is affiliated with James Cook University in Australia. Their research primarily focuses on environmental science, with particular emphasis on oceanography and ecology within the broader fields of earth and planetary sciences.

Their work extensively covers marine and coastal plant biology, coral and marine ecosystems studies, and marine biology and ecology research. Additional topics of research include coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics, marine and fisheries research, marine animal studies, and isotope analysis in ecology.

Michael Rasheed has contributed to several peer-reviewed publications in various scientific journals. Notable recent papers include:

  • Seagrass Restoration Is Possible: Insights and Lessons From Australia and New Zealand (2020, Frontiers in Marine Science)
  • High variability of Blue Carbon storage in seagrass meadows at the estuary scale (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • Remote sensing for cost-effective blue carbon accounting (2023, Earth-Science Reviews)
  • Climate drives the geography of marine consumption by changing predator communities (2020, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences)
  • Saltmarsh grass supports fishery food webs in subtropical Australian estuaries (2020, Estuarine Coastal and Shelf Science)

They have published frequently in venues such as Scientific Reports, Diversity, SSRN Electronic Journal, Global Change Biology, and Marine Environmental Research. These journals reflect a consistent contribution to interdisciplinary environmental science and marine ecology research.

Michael Rasheed frequently collaborates with other researchers, including Paul York, Rob Coles, Catherine Collier, Peter I. Macreadie, and Rod M. Connolly. These coauthor relationships indicate active engagement within a research network focused on marine and environmental studies.
