Kyle Morgan is a Nanyang Assistant Professor and National Research Foundation Fellow at the Asian School of Environment and a Principal Investigator at the Earth Observatory of Singapore. He leads the Coral Reef Geomorphology group at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore, which aims to better understand how reef structures and their ecologies provide coastal resilience in Southeast Asia.

Kyle is an inter-disciplinary researcher with degrees in marine biology and coastal geomorphology, and a PhD in marine science. Following his PhD, he was a Research Fellow in the UK investigating the coral ecology and geological evolution of the Great Barrier Reef. In 2017, Kyle moved to NTU to examine the effects of sedimentation on Singapore’s coral reefs, before being awarded the AXA Research Fund and NTU Presidential Postdoctoral Fellowships in 2019 to study the impact of human activities on coral reefs in Southeast Asia. Kyle spends his days either diving in Singapore’s waters to monitor ocean conditions and how coral reefs grow, in the lab at NTU where he conducts a range of experiments, or engaging with students, other researchers, and the public.
