Clarissa Hee
Clarissa is an Honours student at Monash University with a background in ecology, conservation biology and earth science. Her research interests include understanding the impact of anthropogenic threats (eg. climate change, non-native species, tourism) on terrestrial biodiversity as well as interdisciplinary applications of ecology and geomorphology to the polar sciences. Clarissa’s previous work has been in compiling a biodiversity database of Signy Island, cetacean citizen science in Port Phillip Bay and Western Port as well as environmental seismology of the Vaughan Lewis Icefall on the Juneau Icefield. She has also completed a year of her undergraduate degree at King’s College London. Her Honours project investigates species colonisation of new ice free areas on Signy Island, Maritime Antarctic.
“Antarctica is a fascinating landscape home to unique biology and geography, the understanding of which is crucial to securing our global environmental future.”
