Jason Everett

Dr. Jason Everett is a marine ecologist and researcher with a focus on understanding the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems and biodiversity. He is particularly interested in the role of plankton in ocean health and the importance of marine protected areas for conservation. Dr. Everett has conducted extensive research on the effects of climate change on marine species, including the world's largest marine ectotherm, and has contributed to the development of climate-smart conservation strategies. He is also involved in the creation of global databases for marine species, such as the global database of tuna, billfish, and saury larval distributions. Dr. Everett has published numerous scientific papers in leading journals, including *Science of the Total Environment*, *Ecological Applications*, and *Trends in Ecology and Evolution*. He is currently affiliated with the University of Tasmania and is a member of the Australian Institute of Marine Science.

Jason Everett is a Senior Research Fellow at The University of Queensland, specializing in Biological Oceanography, Plankton Ecology, Size Spectra, Biogeography, and Data Science. His research explores the dynamics of marine ecosystems, focusing on the role of plankton in biogeochemical cycles and climate change impacts. Everett's work includes modeling marine ecosystems using size-spectrum approaches, analyzing the effects of ocean currents and eddies on biological processes, and assessing climate-driven shifts in zooplankton communities. His studies also address the ecological significance of salps and their interactions with other marine organisms, contributing to understanding food web dynamics and biodiversity conservation in changing environments.
