Amelia Meier is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Thriving Oceans Research Hub in the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney. She earned her PhD in 2021 from the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University. Prior to her current role, she served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology at the University of Hawaiʻi Mānoa from 2021 to 2024. Her research primarily focuses on global studies of human-coral reef ecosystem interactions, with significant fieldwork conducted in Côte d'Ivoire, the Republic of Congo, and Gabon. Amelia is a quantitative conservation ecologist whose work aims to inform applied conservation action in both marine and terrestrial systems. She conducts interdisciplinary research examining how environmental variation influences ecological dynamics and how human disturbance alters ecological processes. By leveraging remote sensing technologies, including satellites and underwater cameras, she tests fundamental ecological theories that describe hard-to-observe ecological processes relevant to natural resource and wildlife management.
