He has qualifications and experience in commercial and technical diving in both academic and industrial settings. He received Honours degrees in both Science and Engineering (Marine Biology and Ocean Systems Engineering) and a Ph.D. (Oceanography and Marine Ecology) from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwa.edu.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The University of Western Australia<\/a>. He was a Fulbright Scholar and Postdoc at <a href=\"https:\/\/scripps.ucsd.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scripps Institution of Oceanography<\/a>, UC San Diego, and a Research Fellow in the Atmosphere and Ocean Research Institute at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The University of Tokyo<\/a>. His novel integration of oceanography, isotope ecology and engineering has begun to shed new light on the biogeochemical function, diet shifts, and foraging specialisations of globally threatened marine ecosystems and species.\u00a0 <span class=\"collapseomatic \" id=\"id69f269dc19c0d\"  tabindex=\"0\" title=\"read more\"    >read more<\/span><div id=\"target-id69f269dc19c0d\" class=\"collapseomatic_content \">He has a particularly strong background and focus on coral reefs, with recent work leading to the exploration of proactive management approaches for enhanced stewardship of these vital ecosystems.\u00a0 His early work quantitatively demonstrated that oceanic nutrient inputs to reefs are essential, but also provided some of the first direct evidence that ecosystem-scale recycling is an ecologically significant process.\u00a0 This research attracted a number of competitive awards, including the 2011 <em>UNESCO IOC \/ IMarEST Western Australian Marine Science Postgraduate Award<\/em>, Australian Marine Sciences Association (AMSA) <em>Allen Award<\/em>, the <em>Janice Klumpp Award<\/em> (UWA), an Australian Coral Reef Society Award, and the <em>Oxford University Press Prize<\/em> for best marine ecology presentation at AMSA 2008. His postdoctoral work, supported by fellowships from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), focusing in part on isotope dynamics in captive and wild whale sharks, led to the development of an enhanced approach for quantifying foraging specialisation in wild populations of a range of enigmatic marine species.\u00a0 With the support of JSPS, the Sumitomo Foundation and the Nissei Foundation, Dr Wyatt began applying new technologies and approaches to the ecological exploration of deep water \u2018twilight\u2019 reefs, which represent a new frontier in coral reef oceanography and ecology and have important global implications for reef preservation.\u00a0 He is a registered expert for the Japan International Collaboration Agency (JICA) and a participant in the JICA-funded \u201cCoastal Ecosystem Conservation and Adaptive Management (CECAM)\u201d project in the Philippines and the US-funded Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) coral reef site in Moorea, French Polynesia. He is also active in the international isotope ecology community, hosting and chairing the 10<sup>th<\/sup> IsoEcol conference in Tokyo in 2016, the first to be held in Asia.\u00a0 Dr Wyatt has supervised scientific diving operations and led academic and commercial field research in a variety of marine ecosystems worldwide, including in Australia, East Timor, French Polynesia, Hong Kong, Indoneisa, Japan, the Philippines, Mexico, Taiwan, and the United States.\u00a0 He publishes in, and reviews for, top international journals in the marine and oceanography fields, including <em>Coral Reefs<\/em>, <em>Ecology<\/em>, <em>Limnology and Oceanography<\/em>, <em>Marine Ecology Progress Series<\/em>, <em>Nature Geoscience<\/em>, and the US National Science Foundation.<\/div>\n<h2>Education<\/h2>\n<p>2006 \u2013 2011\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Ph.D., Oceans Institute, The University of Western Australia (UWA)<br \/>\n1999 \u2013 2004\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0B.E.
