Rebecca Gladstone-Gallagher

Dr Rebecca Gladstone-Gallagher is a Lecturer in Marine Science at the University of Auckland. Dr Gladstone-Gallagher is a marine ecologist investigating degradation, recovery, and restoration in coastal marine ecosystems. She is particularly interested in the connections and interactions between the biodiversity and how the ecosystem functions. These connections and interactions are key to how ecosystems respond to human made stress and she uses this ecology to develop frameworks and recommendations to assist environmental management decisions.

Dr Gladstone-Gallagher obtained her PhD (Biological Sciences) from the University of Waikato, has over ten years of experience in marine ecology research, and is an active contributor to the peer reviewed scientific literature.
