Biography
Dr. Charlotte Johansson is a Technical Officer in the program Sustainable Coastal Ecosystem & Industries in Tropical Australia. She did PhD - Fish Ecology, James Cook University, Australia in 2013.She is a fish ecologist from James Cook University. My thesis examined the functional composition of herbivorous fishes on Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia. Shortly after, she commenced a Research Fellowship within the School of Aquaculture at James Cook University. I was the principal investigator of a research program with the aim of developing an efficient and environmentally sustainable solution to bioremediation of mine effluents using seaweed. She specialised in the optimisation of the properties of seaweeds prior to and post manipulation into biochar. The final product can be used as a biosorbent of pollutants in mine effluents. In her current position at the Australian Institute of Marine Science she investigate the effect of climate change and ocean acidification on marine benthic organisms but she has also worked with fish monitoring and water quality assessments.
