Lisa Schellenberg - PhD Candidate
Meet Lisa
During her Master's studies at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Science at the University of Tasmania - Lisa participated in Antarctic Science Foundation’s first science project. The investment from the Antarctic Science Foundation enabled the analysis of samples that were collected by the krill fishery in key areas of the South Atlantic. Laurence and Lisa examined whether the krill in these areas live in separate populations and, if so, how much they mix.
Lisa is pursuing her PhD at NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research. Lisa's PhD topic is “Microbial and chemical players – from land to coral reefs.”
The project investigates the biological and chemical changes in coral reef ecosystems to understand how land-derived and waterborne substances affect coral reefs in the Dutch Caribbean.
