Sue-Ann is an Associate Professor in the Marine Biology and Aquaculture team within the College of Science and Engineering at James Cook University and a Senior Scientist and Curator (Marine Invertebrates) for the Queensland Museum, based at the Queensland Museum Tropics in Townsville. Sue-Ann’s research focuses on the responses of marine organisms to change, both in space (along natural evolutionary gradients) and time (responses to environmental change). She is particularly interested in large scale evolutionary patterns and ecological trends in marine invertebrates and the effects of stressors such as ocean acidification, global warming and water quality impacts including light availability, nutrients and salinity on marine invertebrates and fishes. Sue-Ann’s broad research interests include ecology, physiology, behavior, biogeography, biodiversity, and the potential for acclimation and adaptation to change in marine organisms.
