Dr. Jason Everett

Biography

Jason Everett is a biological oceanographer whose research focuses on oceanographic processes and the structure of pelagic ecosystems, particularly in relation to planktonic fisheries on regional and global scales. His work reveals that zooplankton processes play a critical role in regulating fisheries production and carbon export, thereby enhancing our ability to model and manage marine ecosystems. He divides his professional time between the University of New South Wales and the Sydney Institute of Marine Science. Jason completed his PhD in 2008 and has since held a postdoctoral position at the Evolution Ecology Research Centre at UNSW. He serves as the convenor for the Zooplankton Ocean Observations Modelling Task Team within the Integrated Marine Observing System and is part of the Technical Advisory Committee for the Australian Ocean Data Network. Jason collaborates regularly with researchers from multiple institutions including the University of Tasmania, University of Queensland, University of Technology Sydney, CSIRO, and the University of British Columbia in Canada. His research themes encompass Biological Oceanography, Size-Structure within marine communities, and the development of size-based global ecosystem models to forecast future fish biomass and carbon export. He enjoys conducting at-sea research aboard Australia's Marine National Facility vessels and developing software to analyze large, diverse datasets.
