Catherine Yule
Cathy Yule is Professor of Ecology at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Prior to coming to UniSC, Professor Yule lived and worked in SE Asia on Bougainville Island in Papua New Guinea, Indonesian Borneo and Malaysia for over thirty years. Her multidisciplinary research focuses on the ecosystem functioning of rivers, lakes and swamps, particularly subtropical and tropical peat swamps, extreme and endangered environments of global significance due to their vast carbon sequestration. Her pioneering research on tropical aquatic ecosystems looking at aquatic invertebrates, litter decomposition, microbial ecology, metagenomics and phytochemistry has provided new insights and overturned misconceptions, with important implications for conservation management and climate change mitigation. Cathy is the editor of Yule and Yong (1984) Freshwater Invertebrates of the Malaysian Region.
