Ashley's research

Ashley’s career as a coastal ecologist has focused on understanding anthropogenic impacts to coastal communities in oyster reefs, seagrass, saltmarsh and mangroves. Her thesis titled ‘The Future of coastal wetlands under rising sea levels’,  aims to develop fundamental knowledge of how coastal catchments should be managed to protect and conserve important coastal vegetated habitats under future climate change.

Keywords

Sea level rise, mangrove encroachment, coastal wetlands, Victoria
