Biography

Laura Parker is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). Her research primarily focuses on understanding and overcoming the impacts of climate change and environmental stress on marine organisms, especially marine molluscs. Laura is interested in developing resilience strategies for these organisms under both current stressors like salinity and food availability, and future challenges such as ocean warming and acidification. Her work aims to enhance the capacities of natural oyster populations in the Australian oyster industry, contributing significantly to the restoration of degraded oyster habitats that are crucial for Indigenous Australians. Currently, her research is supported by the ARC Discovery Indigenous grant titled 'The basis of oyster resilience in the face of global environmental change'.
