RESEARCH INTERESTS
My research interests lie broadly within marine ecology, with a particular
emphasis on:
*
the roles of habitat-forming seaweeds in ecological systems
*
life history dynamics of seaweeds
*
impacts of anthropogenic disturbances (e.g. sewage effluent, climate change) on habitat-forming seaweeds and the ecosystems they support
*
the roles macroalgae may play in carbon sequestration and climate mitigation
*
exploration of the unique and diverse temperate Australian marine flora for sustainable food, fibre and health benefits.
I encourage partnerships with industry and government agencies.
