Our Collaborators
The Seascape Ecology Lab works with researchers and institutions across the globe, building interdisciplinary partnerships with leading scientists, diverse stakeholders and ocean policymakers to monitor, map and most effectively manage marine ecosystems.
Collaborators
Dr Noelani Puniwai
Dr Noelani Puniwai is an Assistant Professor at UH Mānoa, in the School of Hawaiian Knowledge, Center for Hawaiian Studies. Her research interests include coastal ecosystems, cultural geography, knowledge co-production, and seascapes. As a professional conservation scientist, native Hawaiian community member, and science educator, Dr Puniwai also works to facilitate the communication of knowledge between scientists, local communities, and management agencies.
Dr Stephanie Green
Dr Stephanie Green is an Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta and PI of The Green Lab. She studies the causes and consequences of biodiversity change in aquatic ecosystems, with the goal of developing science-based tools to inform conservation and restoration decision-making under global change. Dr Green was previously Banting Fellow at the Center for Ocean Solutions at Stanford University and a David H. Smith Conservation Research Fellow at Oregon State University.
Dr Gareth Williams
Dr Gareth Williams is an Associate Professor in Marine Biology at Bangor University’s School of Ocean Sciences. He is a marine ecologist specialising in coral reef ecology, focused on the interaction of organisms with their environment and often taking a macroecological approach. Dr Williams is particularly interested in how human activities and natural biophysical gradients interact to drive community patterns across multiple trophic levels (microbes to sharks) and scales (individual reefs to entire ocean basins).
Dr Simon Pittman
Dr Pittman is Associate Researcher at the University of Oxford Seascape Ecology Lab and Director of Seascape Analytics and Project Seascape CIC. He has been instrumental in the newly emerging field of seascape ecology and previously contributed to marine spatial planning in Hawaii, the Gulf of Maine and Oregon to help guide environmentally-informed decision-making.
Dr Antoine Collin
Dr Antoine Collin is the Director of the Coastal GeoEcological Labo and is an Associate Professor at the École Pratique des Hautes Études (EPHE) within Université PSL. Dr Collin is a geospatial ecologist interested in interactions between coastal socio-ecosystems and their environment, experienced in combining cutting-edge tools from benthic ecology, wetland ecology/pedology, geomorphology, oceano-climatology, environmental socio-economy, remote sensing, as well as applied mathematics, statistics and computer science.
Lauren Neville
Lauren Neville is a science and technology storyteller, focusing on the intersection of media, innovation, and sustainability. She is currently a Communications Manager at Planet, a satellite and geospatial data company located in San Francisco, California. Lauren previously completed her Master of Science in Biodiversity, Conservation, and Management from Oxford’s School of Geography and the Environment, focusing on rhetoric regarding climate change and biodiversity loss. She is collaborating with the Seascape Ecology Lab on a number of research and science communications initiatives regarding coral resilience and blue carbon habitats.
