Australian marine biologist and ecologist
Catherine Ellen Lovelock
FAA (born 1964)
[1] is an Australian marine ecologist, whose research focuses on coastal ecosystems. She is a professor in the School of Biological Science at the
University of Queensland and 2020 Georgina Sweet Australian Laureate Fellow.
Education
Lovelock has a BSc from the
University of Western Australia .
[2] She received a fellowship from the
Australian Institute of Marine Science to support her research for her PhD, titled "Adaptation of tropical mangroves to high solar radiation" from
James Cook University (1991).
[3]
Career
Lovelock began her research career with the Australian Institute of Marine Science in 1991–2.
[4]
[5] She moved to the
Australian National University in 1993–4
[6]
[7] and then continued her research at the
Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama in 1995–2005.
[8] In 2005 she joined the
University of Queensland , while continuing her association with the STRI.
[9]
Her long-term research has shown that damming waterways has adversely affected mangroves, particularly through the loss of mud.
[10] Writing with Daniel A. Friess, J. Boone Kauffman and James W. Fourqurean, she contributed a chapter to A Blue Carbon Primer: The State of Coastal Westland Carbon Science, Practice and Policy .
[11]
In 2020 she was awarded an
Australian Laureate Fellowship and the Georgina Sweet Australian Laureate Fellowship for her research project focussing on coastal ecosystems and the effects on them of climate change and how
blue carbon may mitigate those effects.
[12]
Lovelock was elected a Fellow of the
Australian Academy of Science in May 2021
[13]
[14] and is recognised as a global expert on coastal ecosystems, particularly those involving mangroves.
[15] She and
Terry Hughes were awarded the Suzanne Cory Medal jointly in March 2023.
