Research Interests
I am interested in studying the impact of global climate change on the lives of animals, as I have some concerns about the impact of herbs and medicinal plants, spices, and drugs on the behaviour and physiology of animals. Currently I am studying the potential impacts of global climate change on some types of marine invertebrates in the UK.
Project
Physiological effects of global climate change on common British marine invertebrates.
I am currently studying the potential impacts of global climate change of increase temperature and decrease pH on six species of marine invertebrates in the UK, three are calcified invertebrates and three non-calcified invertebrates. Where will I study of calcification rates, growth rates and physiological changes of through study possible changes in metabolic processes such as studying the respiration rate and tissue content of carbon and nitrogen. I attempt by that to give an idea as clear as possible about the potential impacts of this change caused by rising temperatures and increased emissions of CO2 in the atmosphere and absorbed by ocean on animals in the future.
