Dr Kirsty Nash is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Marine Socioecology in the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies. She is interested in the resilience of marine ecosystems and the functional and spatial ecology of fishes. Her research sits at the nexus between resilience theory and empiricism: she is particularly interested in testing the practical application of theory with empirical data and modelling.

Biography

Kirsty is a marine ecologist. She joined the Centre for Marine Socioecology at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) in February 2016. Kirsty has a Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Oceanography with Marine Biology from the University of Southampton, UK. Her Honours thesis examined the stable isotope profiles of sea urchins from coastal waters of the Galapagos Islands. In 2002 she moved to Australia and completed a Masters of Applied Science in Tropical Marine Ecology at James Cook University, Townsville, studying the ecology of brown band syndrome in scleractinian corals on the Great Barrier Reef. She then spent a number of years doing field research and teaching field techniques in association with the Marine Park Authority in the Seychelles, and teaching undergraduate courses in marine biology and oceanography in the Caribbean. In 2009, Kirsty returned to Australia, completing a Masters of Education at Charles Sturt University and a PhD (Cum Laude) at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University. Her PhD thesis explored the spatial ecology of reef fishes as it relates to ecosystem resilience. Prior to joining the University of Tasmania, she was a postdoc at the Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, in Townsville.

Spatial ecology of fishes
Small-scale tropical fisheries

Research Themes

The overarching theme of Kirsty's research is the resilience of marine ecosystems. Her research is split into three main areas: i) the cross-scale and spatial resilience of ecological communities, using discontinuity analysis and approaches to elucidate cross-scale patterns; ii) ecological indicators for data-poor, tropical fisheries; and iii) the functional and spatial ecology of fishes. Important underlying themes of her research are body size distributions, the importance of structural and habitat complexity in driving community composition, and cross-scale patterns, interactions and feedbacks.

Collaboration

Kirsty is involved in a number of international projects exploring the resilience of marine ecosystems, including:

Managing for Resilience Working Group: interdisciplinary, international collaboration among scientists and managers from the US, Canada, Sweden, South Africa, and Australia. Group working towards bridging the gap between science and management with respect to the monitoring and managing of ecosystems within a resilience framework.Spatial and Functional Ecology of Reef Fishes: collaboration with scientists from Norway, Philippines, UK and Australia exploring how the spatial ecology of coral reef fishes changes in response to habitat condition.

Current projects

Current projects include:

examining the resilience of marine ecosystems through the lens of planetary boundaries;
exploring methods for setting fishery targets for data poor fisheries using fisheries-independent data; and
studying how the functional impact of fishes change on reefs of different condition through the interplay between the foraging movements of fishes and their grazing rates.

Projects

Effects of environmental change on seafood micronutrients: a SE Asian focus (2021 - 2023)$450,400

Description: This project aims to track variability in flows of essential micronutrients through marine food webs, to quantify how environmental changes will affect micronutrient supply to humans in seafood findings that will be highly significant as governments grapple with increases in both malnutrition and ecological degradation. Expected outcomes: world-first models for accurately estimating nutrient production from SE Asian reef fisheries up to 2050, under conditions of predicted climate change. Major expected benefits: new capacity to plan for food and nutrition security into an uncertain future, for Australia, our region, and beyond; with improvements to human nutrition and health, in accord with UN Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger).
