Biography
Dr. Ken Anthony’s interest is ecosystem resilience and vulnerability, and management solutions for coral reefs under cumulative stressors in a rapidly changing world. Ken joined AIMS in May 2011 and now works with an excellent multidisciplinary program (A Healthy and Resilience GBR) of 40+ people spanning research areas from molecular biology to ecosystem modelling at the scale of the entire Great Barrier Reef. His Program is working towards solving critical issues for the GBR and the World Heritage Area, and towards communicating those solutions to managers, stakeholders and the public. Ken's main focus is science leadership and active collaborative research on high priority problems for coral reefs. Ken and his teams are collaborating with managers and stakeholders in identifying effective management "levers" for coral reefs in Australia and globally, and in the development of structured decision-making tools for reef conservation, management and policy practitioners.
