Senior🎓
Top SchoolIsaac Brito-Morales is a marine ecologist and conservation scientist with nine years of experience translating climate-driven species redistribution into actionable marine spatial planning and conservation policy. Currently leading international research on ocean fronts in the Mozambique Channel and holding research roles at Conservation International and UC Santa Barbara, he blends field ecology with advanced quantitative analysis and reproducible R workflows. His PhD work pioneered consideration of the ocean’s three-dimensional structure in climate-smart conservation, informing efforts toward the 30x30 marine protection target. Comfortable managing large, complex datasets, Isaac also has a track record of developing practical tools for ecosystem prioritization in both tropical and temperate systems. Colleagues value his ability to connect rigorous science to on-the-ground conservation decisions and open, reproducible code.
