معرفی
Andrew Hoey is a Research Professorial Fellow at James Cook University and a core member of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies. His research focuses on coral reef ecosystem dynamics, particularly the role of herbivorous fishes in reef resilience and the impacts of environmental changes such as climate change and habitat degradation. He has conducted fieldwork across 20+ Pacific and Indian Ocean locations.
Hoey has held prestigious fellowships including the ARC DECRA (2013-2015), Isobel Bennett Research Fellowship (2013), and Churchill Fellowship (2011). His work spans functional biology of reef fishes, algal-coral interactions, and the effects of rising water temperatures on fish physiology.
- Education:
- Churchill Fellowship at Georgia Institute of Technology (2011)
- Senior Postdoctoral Fellow at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (2011-2012)
- Research Fellow at James Cook University (2012-2013)
His research interests include the functional importance of herbivorous fishes, ecological feedback mechanisms, and the impacts of human activities on coral reef ecosystems. Hoey is a council member of the Australian Coral Reef Society and active in international societies such as the International Society of Reef Studies.
Key awards include recognition for his contributions to understanding coral bleaching, fisheries sustainability, and ecosystem resilience. His publications address topics like coral reef resilience to climate change, herbivore-fish interactions, and the effects of habitat degradation.
Hoey collaborates extensively, with over 130+ peer-reviewed articles. His work emphasizes bridging ecological theory with applied conservation to address global reef challenges.
