Arne Adam

Dr. Arne Adam is a Research Officer at the School of the Environment, University of Queensland. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy from Curtin University of Technology. His primary research focuses on marine biology, coral reef conservation, and the application of environmental DNA (eDNA) technologies for ecological monitoring. Key areas include understanding coral genetic connectivity, climate change impacts on marine ecosystems, and developing innovative methods for biodiversity assessment.

Adam’s work integrates molecular biology, genetics, and ecological field studies. His recent projects emphasize the use of eDNA metabarcoding to monitor coral diversity and population dynamics in remote regions like northwest Australia and the Kimberley. He also contributes to studies on cardiac development and pancreatic cancer, showcasing interdisciplinary expertise.

Publications span coral resilience under climate change, genetic patterns in reef-building corals, and technological advancements in environmental monitoring. His research bridges foundational science with applied conservation strategies, addressing critical challenges in marine and biomedical fields.
