Background

I am a planktonic and benthic ecologist investigating development of pelagic biodiversity indicators using molecular and modelling techniques alongside traditional monitoring methods. I am particularly interested in improving our understanding of the pelagic changes and their respective influences on higher trophic levels and marine ecosystems.
