Biography

Robin Beaman is a marine geologist and ocean mapping scientist based at James Cook University in Cairns, leading efforts to reveal Australia’s vast underwater landscape. Ocean mapping improves our understanding of the geological origins and nature of the seafloor, the distribution of marine life, and contributes to managing Australia's marine jurisdiction. Robin has 30 years’ experience in marine geology research and mapping expeditions involving various academic institutes, government, industry, and philanthropy organisations. Research topics include the study of drowned (submerged) reefs and mesophotic (twilight) coral ecosystems, submarine canyons and turbidite sediment gravity flows, underwater landslides and debris fields, and the deep-water marine life that inhabits these large-scale geological features. Robin’s passionate interest is to develop the most comprehensive and accurate 3D depth models for the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea, and to share with the public how we map and explore the ocean and to share these new discoveries.
