Caitie Kuempel

I am a conservation scientist with interests in sustainable seafood, land-sea interactions, and conservation planning. I am passionate about finding ways to meet the needs of the growing human population while minimising impacts on the environment – particularly in the world’s oceans. I am currently a Lecturer in marine ecosystem modelling at Griffith University. I completed my PhD at the University of Queensland in protected area design and evaluation, followed by post-doctoral positions at NCEAS UC Santa Barbara mapping impacts of the global food system and University of Queensland exploring ways to manage and monitor climate resilient reefs to benefit people and nature. I also holds degrees in marine biology (M.S.), environmental science (B.S.) and French (B.A.).
