Sustainability and Resilience Institute (SRI)

Our people

Learn more about our academic experts, from their research interests to their contact details.

Our work across all interdisciplinary sustainability and resilience challenges is dependent on our collaborative network formed of colleagues from all parts of the University. 

SRI Associate Members

University of Southampton staff and students can register as an SRI Associate Member. Please complete this form.

The SRI aspires to be a focal point for sustainability and resilience interdisciplinary research and interdepartmental activity. We are all about people!

We want to link up you and your work with others and build new collaborations to answer some of the biggest questions facing our world.

Our membership is open to students, professional services and researchers to join our network.

Colleagues and students across the University who work with, or aspire to work with, any area related to sustainability and resilience, particularly framed through the Sustainable Development Goals, are invited to become an Associate Member of the Institute.

What’s in it for you?

Associates benefit from receiving our periodic newsletter, updates on funding opportunities and the potential to utilise the SRI team and network for new collaborations, support with funding bids, policy engagement and receive bespoke invitations to events organised by the SRI.

Members may collaborate on publications and use the SRI network for presentations and further dissemination opportunities

Please note that all SRI associates are automatically added to the SRI mailing list. If you would like to be removed from the mailing list or have any questions about SRI membership please email sri@soton.ac.uk.

Students 

Students are welcome to join the SRI as Associate Members. The Sustainability Academy will launch in September 2024 with a dedicated SRI Student programme.

Research interests

  • The aim of my research is to understand how marine communities interact with the environment and affect community dynamics and ecosystem properties in natural and disturbed ecosystems. A key focus of my research is to investigate how environmental complexity, disturbance (organic enrichment and habitat modification) and climate change (ocean acidification, warming, hypoxia & extreme events) affect species-specific functional effect and response traits, as well as community composition in order to develop a mechanistic understanding of biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relations in natural ecosystems. To this end I am exploring the importance of variability in biological trait expression, in terms of organism behaviour, growth and more recently reproductive physiology, of individuals within and between populations that have experienced different environmental histories. To realise my research agenda, I use a combination of laboratory and in-situ model systems, as well as observational studies in coastal and shelf-sea environments across temperate and polar sediment ecosystems. I have experience in interrogating and analysing large (historical) data sets to establish generality of the impacts of anthropogenic disturbance and environmental conditions on organism physiology and population structure. A growing area of interest is the linkage between biodiversity, the environment and ecosystem services with respect to socio-economic benefits, management and policy decisions.
  • My work involves the handling, manipulation and analysis of large and complex datasets, large scale mesocosm experiments, in situ manipulative experiments, and the use of in situ observation technology, to examine natural communities.
