Georgina Wood

I am an Early Career Australian Research Council Fellow at Flinders University and Adjunct Research Fellow at the University of Western Australia. Much of my research focuses on repairing nature in a changing climate, particularly temperate kelp forest ecosystems. I have led restoration projects in collaboration with industry on the east (www.operationcrayweed.com) and west (www.greengravel.org) coasts of Australia, with a focus on the genomics of key seaweed species and how best to conserve genetic diversity. I am also leading the development of a series of online webtools to aid decision-making in coastal restoration, assisted gene flow strategies and aquaculture (www.reefadapt.org and www.kelpee.info). I am an editor of Restoration Ecology and a coordinator of the Green Gravel Action Group for kelp forest restoration.
