Dr Nicole Hill is a Senior Lecturer at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies. Her research spans a range of applied marine ecology topics including; ectoxicology, quantifying human impacts, modelling biodiversity and developing monitoring programs. Nicole's recent research focuses on understanding, quantifying and mapping biodiversity to support decision making in the marine environment, and she currently leads a project that is applying novel statistical methods to model and map marine biodiversity in Antarctica.
Biography
Dr Hill is a quantitative ecologist who completed her PhD at UNSW in 2010 investigating the ecological impacts of metal-contaminated sediments on temperate and Antarctic benthic communities. Her previous research also includes examining the ecological implications of translocating sea urchins as a fisheries tool, and the ecological, genetic, and historical constraints on host-algal choices by marine herbivores. More recently, Nicole was a postdoctoral researcher in the CERF/ NERP Marine Biodiversity Hub where her research focussed on using new survey tools and applying sophisticated statistical techniques to understand and predict patterns of marine biodiversity at a range of scales, and on the logistical and statistical challenges in developing long-term monitoring programs in offshore waters. This work is being applied to assist spatial conservation management, to assist the development of a blueprint for monitoring of the Commonwealth's Marine Reserve Network, and to enable a better understanding of the distribution of key fish species and overall fish diversity in Tasmanian waters.

Current projects
Quantification and prediction of marine biodiversity at a range of geographical and ecological scales for spatial protection and management (Australian Antarctic Science Grant):
Antarctic marine ecosystems face increasing pressure from a range of sources including pollution, fishing, invasive species and a changing climate. Integral to our ability to protect biodiversity and predict how it may be affected by future scenarios, is a robust understanding of current patterns in the spatial distribution of biodiversity and how these patterns relate to environmental drivers. However, biological data is expensive and difficult to collect, particularly in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, and inevitably results in sparse and patchily distributed datasets. Predictive modelling is an approach that maximises the value of these datasets, addressing both the spatial distribution of diversity and the influence of environmental drivers. The project will apply cutting-edge statistical techniques, recently been developed to tackle similar issues in continental Australian waters, for modelling biodiversity in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica
Tasmania's coastal reefs: significance for finfish production and biodiversity and the importance of deep reef areas (Fisheries Research and Development Corporation Grant):In Tasmania, shallow reefs are significant to commercial and recreational fisheries for scalefish and invertebrates. While the structure, composition, and functioning of shallow-reefs and their associated fish communities has been studied extensively, the ecological importance of deeper reef ecosystems has not been investigated apart from recent baseline studies of offshore Commonwealth marine protected areas. Linkages and associations between fish communities in shallow and deeper reef areas remain a distinct knowledge gap. This project seeks to apply a variety of techniques including habitat mapping, underwater video surveys, catch sampling and modelling to address this gap in our understanding.

- Description
- This project aims to provide scientific information on the ecological impacts of climate change and other drivers on key components of the Southern Ocean ecosystem to facilitate evidence-based monitoring, management and policy decisions. we will use new statistical methods in ecology and combine them with existing, long-term datasets of demersal fish on the Kerguelen Plateau and zooplankton in East Antarctica. We will provide maps and new, quantitative knowledge on if, how (which species) and why (in response to which factors) these key Southern Ocean assemblages have changed in recent years and what they are likely to look like in the future. This will significantly advance the scientific information available for planning and evaluation policy and management actions. it will also provide a basis for optimising the design of an effective and cost-effective zooplankton monitoring system to track changes and measure the performance of spatial management into the future.

- Description
- The Centre will revolutionise predictions of the future of East Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Changes in the Antarctic will be profoundly costly to Australia, including sea-level and fisheries impacts; but the speed and scale of future change remains poorly understood. A new national-scale and interdisciplinary Centre is required to understand the complex interactions of the ocean, ice sheets, atmosphere and ecosystems that will govern Antarctica's future. The Centre will combine new field data with innovative models to address Australia's Antarctic science priorities, train graduate students, develop leaders, engage the public, and enable major economic benefit as Australia adapts to climate change in the coming years and beyond.

- Description
- The three main challenges holding back the large-scale use of Southern Ocean BGC-Argo chlorophyll-a fluorescence data are:1. Non-photochemical quenching corrections (addressed within the scope of the primary applicant's PhD). 2. Chlorophyll-a fluorescence to chlorophyll-a concentration conversions for phytoplankton biomass quantification.3. Producing an interoperable and homogenised Southern Ocean dataset.This SCAR fellowship will address challenges #2 and #3 through: * The synthesis of Southern Ocean in-situ chlorophyll-a data derived from High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and in-situ biomass data (eg. POC and/or abundance). * A targeted study of how chlorophyll-a fluorescence relates to in-situ chlorophyll-a and in-situ biomass data in the Southern Ocean, with the upscaling of these findings to basin-wide chlorophyll-a fluorescence observations. * The integration of new protocols into a BGC-Argo handling package (R, Python). This package will be available online for the community and will allow users to easily process BGC-Argo chlorophyll-a fluorescence data

- Description
- The sharp decrease in catch rates in the Heard Island and Macdonald Island (HIMI) longline fishery in 2016 generated concerns among the fishing industry, management and scientists for the long-term economic viability and productivity of the Australian toothfish fisheries at HIMI. Understanding the relationships between environmental factors and the performance of the fishery is especially important as sea surface temperature, the incidence of surface heatwaves, and environmental variability in general is predicted to increase globally under the influence of climate change [8].This project characterises environmental variability within the HIMI and Macquarie Island regions, quantifying its relationship to catch rates and other fishery indicators at a number of spatial and temporal scales, identifying the possible mechanisms underpinning responses and quantifying the likely frequency of future adverse environmental conditions at a range of temporal scales. The new knowledge generated by this project is expected to provide timely information and advice that will allow the toothfish industry and management agencies to understand the impact of environmental variability on the fishery, for the toothfish industry to plan for future events, and to aid management agencies in developing appropriate strategies for the fishery in the face of a changing climate.

- Description
- Antarctic seafloor communities are unique and highly diverse, but their distribution is poorly known becausebiological data are sparse. We aim to develop an international database of underwater observations to, for the firsttime, predict the distribution of seafloor biodiversity over the entire Antarctic continental shelf for the present dayand 2100. These predictions depend on a unique and validated approach to estimate the present and futureredistribution of surface primary production to the seafloor, and will enable calculating the amount of atmosphericcarbon captured and stored at the seafloor. The maps will be at an unprecedented resolution (~2 km), and beinvaluable tools underpinning policy, management and future science.
