Emma Camp is a Researcher at the University of Technology Sydney, a National Geographic Explorer and the 2018 recipient of the British Ecological Societies Aquatic Early Career Research Award. She studies and advocates for the world's marine life under threat from climate and environmental change. Her research focuses on the role marginal reef environments (e.g. mangrove habitats) can play in understanding the impacts of future climate change on coral reefs. Consequently, by studying corals living in these extreme environments, Emma seeks to understand the traits coral require to survive future environmental change. In 2017, she led the first National Geographic Waitt Foundation expedition to search for hot-spots of coral resilience on the Great Barrier Reef. Emma is also a United Nations Young Leader for the Sustainable Development goals.
