Maria Jung is an Adjunct Research Fellow and Research Assistant at the University of Western Australia. Her research focuses on understanding seagrass response mechanisms to environmental pressures, with an emphasis on early stress detection and prevention of loss. She has previously investigated physiological interactions between coral and symbionts in response to climate change. Currently, she is working on projects aimed at understanding seagrass health recovery in Cockburn Sound, employing a multi-disciplinary approach that combines physiology, metabolomics, and microbial analysis with in-situ microsensing techniques. Maria has also provided teaching support for various undergraduate units, demonstrating her ability to communicate complex scientific concepts effectively. Additionally, she has served as an Environmental Consultant, where she developed tailored research strategies to assess the health of Colombian mangrove ecosystems. Her academic background includes a PhD in Marine Biology from the University of Western Australia, focused on seagrasses, and she holds a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree in Marine Biology from the University of Bremen and the same university respectively. Maria's work significantly contributes to the understanding of biodiversity loss in marine ecosystems, aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals for environmental protection and sustainability.
