Hannah Morrissette is a coastal wetland biogeochemist that collaborates with countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean to co-develop projects that achieve their coastal wetland scientific goals as determined through national management and international policy. With a particular focus on carbon movement and transformation within mangroves, marshes, and seagrass, she helped to lead such efforts as national mangrove and seagrass carbon stock assessments, advanced methodology implementation for inventories, standardized regional trainings in ecosystem monitoring, biodiversity assessments through environmental DNA, and more. Hannah prioritizes the applicability of her projects through data accessibility, scientific communication, and knowledge sharing for capacity expansion.
