Dr. Janine Sheaves is a Lecturer in the College of Science and Engineering at James Cook University. She also serves as the Director of the Work Integrated Learning (WIL) program, which connects undergraduate students with industry and community organizations to enhance their career readiness. Her research focuses on the spatial and temporal dynamics of benthic invertebrates in tropical transitional wetlands, emphasizing how these ecosystems respond to tidal and freshwater flow changes. This work supports restoration strategies for human-impacted coastal wetlands, addressing critical knowledge gaps in their ecological functioning.
Her research interests revolve around understanding the structure and dynamics of marine and estuarine ecosystems, particularly in tropical regions. She integrates field observations with technological tools like deep learning to study cryptic species and optimize ecological monitoring. Key themes include wetland restoration, benthic invertebrate ecology, and the application of computer vision in ecological research.
Her publications span topics like tidal ecosystem consequences, whale shark nursery roles, marine restoration strategies, and fisheries parameter optimization via technology. Despite her active research output, no scientific awards are listed in the provided texts. The WIL program highlights her commitment to bridging academic training with real-world industry needs, though specific grants or advising records are not detailed. No dedicated lab or team affiliations are explicitly mentioned in the text.
