I'm interested in how humans impact the natural environment, biodiversity and ecosystem function. My research focuses on how past, present and future environmental disturbances (natural and anthropogenic) influence ecological resilience and ecosystem development (e.g. biodiversity, coral recruitment, marine calcification and erosion), and also how such disturbances impact resource management.
Current multidisciplinary projects:
Agricultural runoff (e.g. sediments and nutrients) and their impacts on coral reefs
How mining activities in the nearshore zone influence coral reef development
Coral bleaching (temperature stress) and reef development
Changing catchment use and river runoff on coral reefs
Plastic pollution on coral reefs
Coral reef carbonate budgets and responses to environmental stress
