Dr Ioanna Akoumianaki
I am a biologist and catchment-to-sea scientist. My research career has taken me from the deep sea to estuaries and river catchments, tracing the flows of carbon and nutrients and exploring how ecosystems build resilience in the face of change. Over time, I stepped beyond the disciplinary boundaries of my training and expertise to work at the scienceāpolicy interface, ensuring research evidence informs environmental decision-making and contributes to sustainable futures across land, water and sea.
