About
Associate Professor in Marine Biology with a broad interest in ecosystem structure and function from the coastal zone to the open ocean. My research has focussed on gelatinous zooplankton and understanding the causes and consequences of jellyfish blooms on marine ecoystems and human activities.
Research
Research interests
- The role of gelatinous zooplankton in ecosystem structure and function.
- Causes and consequences of jellyfish blooms.
- Jellyfish and ecosystem servives in the coastal zone.
- Role of life histories in understanding population fluctuations in scyphozoan jellyfish.
Current research
Zooplankton and microplastics; the effect of extreme events on jellyfish life histories, jellyfish mucous and marine biogeochemical cycling, jellyfish and ecosystem services.
