Dr Ylva Olsen is a Research Development Officer at The University of Western Australia, supporting researchers in Health and Medical Sciences. Holding a PhD in Biology from Boston University, she previously spent over a decade as a Marine Biology researcher, focusing on seagrass ecosystems, climate change, and ocean acidification. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to environmental resilience and coastal ecosystem health.
- PhD in Biology, Boston University
- BSc and MSc in Plymouth
Ylva specializes in Marine Ecology, with key interests in seagrass biology, climate change impacts, and biogeochemical processes. Her research explores functional traits in multispecies seagrass habitats, calcifying organism responses to pH changes, and macroalgal dynamics in tropical reefs.
Recent publications (2025–2014) examine topics like biomass predictions in seagrass meadows, reef framework contributions by calcifiers, and seaweed acclimation to UVB radiation. Her datasets on seagrass biomass and environmental drivers are widely referenced in marine studies.
As a grant writing expert, she assists academics in strategic funding applications, emphasizing Australian research schemes. Ylva collaborates on projects such as temperate seagrass production (2017) and pH refugia for calcifiers (2014).
