Biography
Dr. James Gilmour is a Research Scientist: Coral Ecology. He did PhD, University of Western Australia. He worked on collaborative projects between the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Aquarium, James Cook University and the Museum of Tropical Queensland investigating coral reproduction, spawning and mating systems. he then completed my PhD at the University of Western Australia, investigating the utility of combining methods to better understand the dynamics of coral populations. He has since worked with researchers from private industry, consultancies, universities and AIMS in Western Australia, particularly on northern coral reefs. His research focuses on the long-term dynamics of coral communities and quantifying patterns of impact and recovery from natural and human disturbances, particularly by incorporating a range of demographic data.
