My research lies at the intersection of ecotoxicology, ethology and evidence synthesis. The overarching goal of my research is to identify, understand, and reduce the impacts of human-induced rapid environmental change on wildlife
Dr. Jake M. Martin
I am an ecologist and ecotoxicologist who blends laboratory, field, and evidence synthesis approaches to understand the impacts of human-induced rapid environmental change on wildlife. My research primarily focuses on the ecological effects of emerging chemical pollutants in aquatic ecosystems, but also considers noise pollution, thermal pollution, and invasive species.
I am an Alfred Deakin Research Fellow at Deakin University (School of Life and Environmental Sciences) and a part-time Researcher (Forskare) at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), where I hold a Swedish Research Council Mobility Fellowship in the Aquatic Ecology research group.
