Moriaki Yasuhara is a professor in the School of Energy and Environment at City University of Hong Kong. He has broad interests in integrating organismal biology (ecology and evolutionary biology), paleontology, paleoceanography, and paleoclimatology, especially by using highly resolved micropalaeontological records. His recent research has focused on the spatio-temporal dynamics of large-scale biodiversity patterns, the impact of climate on species diversity, and the controlling factor(s) of biodiversity pattern change in deep-sea, shallow-marine, and pelagic ecosystems. He is also interested in microfossil-based conservation palaeobiology (i.e., fossil evidence of anthropogenic impacts, including pollution, eutrophication, deoxygenation, etc) and palaeontology of the Ostracoda in general.
