James Gilmour

James Gilmour is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the UWA Oceans Institute, affiliated with the University of Western Australia. His research focuses on coral reef ecosystems, with emphasis on ecological modeling, climate change impacts, and marine conservation. He contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to Life Below Water (SDG 14). His work integrates remote sensing, artificial intelligence, and field surveys to study coral recruitment, reef connectivity, and biodiversity preservation.

Key research interests include coral settlement patterns, habitat modeling, and metacommunity dynamics. His recent studies explore AI applications for reef monitoring and the ecological implications of climate change on isolated reefs. Gilmour has collaborated on datasets like the 'Adaptive Monitoring Of Coral Health At Scott Reef' and contributed to projects analyzing genetic connectivity in corals.

His research outputs emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to address coral bleaching, reef resilience, and ecosystem dynamics. Notable collaborations include work with institutions like the Australian Institute of Marine Science and Edith Cowan University.
