Biography

Molly-Mae's research experience spans years and encompasses a diverse array of projects aimed at understanding how corals respond to a rapidly changing world. Her research journey began with studies at the Coral Reef Laboratory at the University of Southampton in the UK, where she collaborated with experts in coral physiology and molecular biology to dissect the mechanisms governing coral resilience and susceptibility to stress. Driven by her passion for coral reef research, she moved to Australia to undertake her PhD at the Australian Institute of Marine Science and the University of Western Australia. Her research focuses on addressing critical gaps in understanding coral early life stages, combining ecological modeling and fieldwork across reef systems to explore factors influencing larval settlement, growth, and survival, which are key processes for population maintenance and recovery.
