Jason Everett

Dr. Jason Everett is a Senior Research Fellow at the School of the Environment, The University of Queensland. He specializes in marine ecosystems, climate change impacts, and conservation planning. His work integrates ecological modeling, biodiversity monitoring, and policy development to address challenges in marine resource management and climate adaptation. Dr. Everett holds a Bachelor (Honours) in Marine and Estuarine Ecology from the University of New South Wales.

Research interests focus on zooplankton ecology, climate-driven ecosystem changes, and the design of climate-smart marine protected areas. He leads projects such as BioTIME 2.0, expanding global biodiversity databases, and develops ensemble models to assess climate risks in marine ecosystems. His studies emphasize the intersection of ecological data and spatial planning to enhance conservation outcomes.

Recent work highlights the critical role of mangroves and pelagic ecosystems in mitigating climate impacts while advocating for adaptive management strategies. His publications span topics like larval fish dynamics, carbon sequestration by gelatinous organisms, and modeling uncertainties in fisheries projections. Dr. Everett collaborates with international teams to advance interdisciplinary approaches in marine science.

Advising and grant activities are not detailed in the text, though his research often involves large-scale collaborative efforts. He is affiliated with the Centre for Marine Science and contributes to initiatives like the Australian Zooplankton Biomass Database. His work underscores the urgency of integrating ecological realism with policy frameworks to safeguard marine biodiversity in a changing climate.
