Graeme Hays
Graeme C. Hays (born 1966) is a British and Australian marine ecologist known for his work with sea turtles and plankton. He is a Deakin Distinguished Professor and Chair in Marine Science at Deakin University, Australia.
He was born in Nairobi, Kenya and works in the area of marine ecology researching animal movements and impacts of climate change. His work has helped reveal navigational abilities of sea turtles., the impact of global warming on sea turtles and the factors controlling zooplankton diel vertical migration, the largest animal migration on Earth.
Hays has been named one of the most highly cited scientists in the field of marine biology.
Hays gained a PhD in physiological ecology in 1991 under the mentorship of John Speakman FRS at the University of Aberdeen. He worked at the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science and Bangor University, Wales before becoming a lecturer at Swansea University in 1996, becoming a Professor in 2005. He became Professor of Marine Science at Deakin University in Australia in 2013.
He served on numerous journal editorial boards and from 2005 to 2013 he was Executive Editor of the British Ecological Society's Journal of Animal Ecology.
In recognition of his research, he was made an Alfred Deakin Professor in 2014, the most prestigious honour that Deakin University bestows on its staff.
According to the 2020 science-wide standardized citation indicator, developed by Stanford University academic John P.A. Ioannidis and colleagues, Hays was listed in the top 30 most cited marine biologists in the world.
His research expedition to Ascension Island in 1997 for satellite tracking studies of green turtles to examine questions of turtle navigation first posed by Charles Darwin, became the subject of a best-selling book Turtle Island: A Visit To Britain's Oddest Colony by Sergio Ghione.
