Rate My Professor Victoria Cole

Cole has advanced shellfish reef restoration by manipulating climate stressors in field settings, developing novel methods to measure in situ filtration rates of bivalves, assessing ecological effects of microplastics on oyster reefs, and creating monitoring programs for invertebrate fisheries and restoration. Her efforts align with projects funded by the NSW Marine Estate Management Strategy. Key publications include "Estuarine fishes associated with intertidal oyster reefs characterized using environmental DNA and baited remote underwater video" (2022), "Bioaccumulation of estuarine pollutants in leaf oysters (Isognomon ephippium)" (2023), "Functional and structural responses to marine urbanisation" (2018, 131 citations), and "Effects of multiple climate change stressors: ocean acidification interacts with warming, hyposalinity, and low food supply on the larvae of the brooding flat oyster Ostrea angasi" (2016, 109 citations). On Google Scholar, her work has garnered over 1,150 citations with an h-index of 18. She supervises postgraduate research students at Southern Cross University.
