Marine Biodiversity Records

Editor-in-Chief

Dr Nova Mieszkowska is a Senior Lecturer in Marine Biology at Department of Earth, Ocean and Ecological Sciences at the University of Liverpool with a joint appointment as Research Fellow at the Marine Biological Association of the UK. Nova has an international research career in marine biology and ecology, leading the MarClim marine biodiversity and climate change project that tracks climate-driven shifts in coastal marine species in the Northeast Atlantic using the world’s most spatial and temporally extensive, and continuing time-series. Her integrated research programme spans omics to ecosystems approaches to unravel the mechanisms driving species responses to climate change, ocean acidification and multiple stressors, combining field and laboratory experimental research with large-scale biogeographic studies. Her work has taken her to the forefront of policy and conservation, authoring and editing assessments including Marine Climate Change Impacts Partnership Annual Report Cards, Defra’s Charting Progress 2, The National Ecosystem Assessment, developing GES indicators for the Marine Strategy Framework Directive and providing baseline evidence for the designation of the UK’s new Marine Conservation Zones.
