Tracking resilience: Lukian Adams’ research on cold-water refuges for fish
Thanks to the generous support of the Jasper Loftus-Hills Memorial Fund, Mr Lukian Adams, a 2025 recipient and current Doctor of Philosophy – Science candidate at the University of Melbourne, is expanding the boundaries of freshwater biodiversity research.
His work investigates how fish utilise cold-water patches to survive thermally stressful conditions —an increasingly urgent issue in the face of climate change.
