Yasmina M. L. Shah Esmaeili

The main goal of my research is to investigate how and why ecological communities are changing in the Anthropocene. I focus on applying new technologies to make my investigations more cost effective, efficient, scalable, and comparable across coastal ecosystems. I work in many coastal habitats and have a broad interest in the structure of animal communities, what drives changes in their composition, and how we as scientists can provide decision-makers with insight to aid in marine conservation.
