Biography
Jennifer Skerratt is an aquatic scientist who uses observations, numerical models and scenario modelling to research estuarine and marine ecosystems. She has published 35 papers in international journals on topics including biogeochemical modelling, scenarios and management strategy evaluation, molecular and chemical analysis of plankton and microbial environments, harmful algal bloom ecology, aquaculture impacts, estuarine and coastal ecology, microbial ecology toxicity and taxonomy.
At CSIRO Jennifer is part of the Coastal Environmental Modelling team as a biogeochemical modeller and observational researcher and analyst. Her interest is in coastal and scenario modelling analysis and understanding plankton dynamics from a water quality perspective. The CEM team developed the eReefs marine modelling system used to estimate the water quality properties of the Great Barrier Reef. Jennifer has also worked in a similar role with the team for the finfish aquaculture industry (Tasmania, South Australia, Chile), scenario analysis, and incorporation and analysis of the effect of sewage stormwater and river discharge in other estuaries and coastal environments.
