Professor Gretta Pecl
Gretta is a Professor of marine ecology at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, and the Director of the Centre for Marine Socioecology. Gretta is also the lead of the Future Seas project.
A specialist in climate change ecology, Gretta studies what is happening to the species in our oceans as the water warms. To improve the quantity of data being collected, she has enlisted the help of thousands of recreational fishers, SCUBA divers, boaters and naturalists. The 'citizen science' model is called Redmap, or the Range Extension Database and Mapping project.
Professor Martin Grimmer
Martin is is the Associate Provost and a Professor of Marketing at the University of Tasmania. He's an organisational psychologist with a focus on consumer behaviour and specialisation in pro-environmental and sustainable consumption. He researches the effect of corporate reputation and green marketing communications on consumer purchase behaviour, and the extent to which any effects are moderated by factors such as price or environmental involvement. Martin has looked at consumer attitude change, and why consumers don’t always do what they say, and the measurement of environmental concern.
