Biography
Dr Alistair Hobday completed a BSc (Hons) in Biological Science
at Stanford University, a PhD in Biological Oceanography at the
Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and held a National Research
Council Postgraduate Fellowship at the Pacific Fisheries Environmental
Laboratory in Monterey, California. He is presently a Senior
Research Scientist at CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research.
His research spans a range of topics, including spatial management
and migration of large pelagic species, environmental influences
on marine species, and the impacts of climate change on marine
resources. He leads the Marine Climate Impacts area within the
CSIRO Climate Adaptation National Research Flagship, and has
been co-editor of two recent reports on the impacts of climate
change on (i) fisheries and aquaculture, and (ii) Australian
marine life. In addition to his climate research, Alistair has
co-led the development of risk assessment methods for assessing
the ecological sustainability of Australia’s fisheries.
He is a member of the steering committee for the international
GLOBEC program CLIOTOP (Climate Impacts on Top Ocean Predators).
