Rate My Professor Jody Webster

Webster has led major international scientific drilling expeditions, including as Co-Chief Scientist for Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 325, which investigated the Great Barrier Reef's response to post-glacial sea-level rise and environmental shifts. His influential publications include 'Response of the Great Barrier Reef to sea-level and environmental changes over the past 30,000 years' (Nature Geoscience, 2018), 'Coral reef structural complexity provides important coastal protection from waves under rising sea levels' (Science Advances, 2018), 'Coral reefs and sea-level change' (Marine Geology, 2014), and 'Drowning of the -150 m reef off Hawaii: a casualty of global meltwater pulse 1A?' (Geology, 2004). With more than 7,290 citations documented on ResearchGate and significant contributions to paleoclimate reconstruction and reef resilience studies, Webster's work informs predictions of coral reef responses to modern climate challenges. He has received recognition through the University of Sydney Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Excellence in Outstanding Research and actively supervises PhD students in geocoastal research.
