Quinn Ollivier

PhD candidate 2016 – 2019

Thesis

Blue Carbon Offset Opportunities within the Corangamite Catchment

Quinn investigated opportunities for carbon offsetting within blue carbon ecosystems of the Corangamite Catchment region in Victoria. He quantified blue carbon stocks and fluxe,s and identified possible mechanisms for the future management of these ecosystems that will aid in the mitigation of carbon re-mineralisation (CO2 released to the atmosphere) and climate change.

Carolyn Ewers Lewis

PhD candidate 2015 – 2018

Thesis

Distribution, drivers and disturbance of “blue carbon” in southeast Australia.

Carolyn’s thesis focused on understanding the dynamics of carbon sequestration in saltmarshes, mangroves, and seagrasses in Australia.  Her research involved undergoing a comprehensive, large-scale sampling campaign of 96 blue carbon ecosystems across a data-deficient region of southeast Australia, applying these data to create predictive models and produce high-resolution carbon stock maps, and using paleoanalytical techniques and laboratory simulations to measure the impacts of ‘reclamation’ and erosion on blue carbon stocks, respectively.
