Iain M. Suthers is a marine scientist at the University of New South Wales and the Sydney Institute of Marine Science, specialising in the ecology of plankton and larval fish. Over the past few decades he has led or participated in many research voyages focused on the East Australian Current. David Rissik works as a consultant for BMT and has an adjunct position with the Australian Rivers Institute and the National Climate Change Adaptation Research Facility at Griffith University. He has worked in the areas of coastal zone management, monitoring and reporting on water quality and ecosystem health of estuarine and coastal systems, social-ecological systems, and climate change risk and climate adaptation.Anthony J. Richardson is a mathematical ecologist at the University of Queensland and CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere. Anthony was captivated with plankton during his PhD and now runs an Australia-wide plankton monitoring survey. His research modelling marine ecosystems and analysing plankton datasets brings his passions for biology and mathematics together.
