ProfessorTimothy Clark

Timothy has a background in comparative physiology, specialising in metabolic and cardiovascular physiology of aquatic animals. He has applied this background to address important fundamental and applied questions regarding the capacity of animals to withstand environmental challenges including climate change. His work has spanned temperate and tropical systems, using approaches in eco-physiology and chemical/behavioural ecology to forecast the responses of animals to challenges like global warming, ocean acidification (elevated carbon dioxide), hypoxia (low oxygen), and fishing-related stressors. Timothy has played a lead role in designing, developing and testing novel electronic tagging technologies for measuring physiological and behavioural parameters in free-living animals. He has also been vocal about the importance of scientific integrity, and he advocates strongly for robust, transparent and replicable scientific practices.
