Marine ecologist and conservation scientist working across climate change, ocean biodiversity, and reproducible data science.
Dr Isaac Brito-Morales
I study how climate change reshapes biodiversity in the ocean, and I build reproducible analyses that help conservation decisions travel from data to action.
What I Work On
I am a marine ecologist and conservation scientist focused on species redistribution, marine climate exposure, conservation planning, and open, reproducible workflows in R.
My work connects global environmental datasets, ecological theory, and practical conservation needs, with a particular interest in how ocean dynamics shape biodiversity patterns and climate adaptation.
Climate change
Species redistributions, exposure, velocity, and ecological risk.
Marine conservation
Decision-support science for biodiversity, planning, and adaptation.
Reproducible R
Transparent workflows, reusable code, and teaching-friendly analysis.
