BIO

My work focuses on broad aspects of marine science (including behavioural,
physiological and molecular ecology as well as biological oceanography) for a
range of marine species including both vertebrates and invertebrates with a
strong emphasis on the use of innovative marine technology and
crossdisciplinary collaboration, for example with physical oceanographers,
mathematicians and physicists.

I am an ecologist with broad interests including examining patterns of
movement in sea turtles (e.g. via satellite tracking and use of data-loggers),
climate change impacts for sea turtle nesting conditions and long-term changes
in marine systems including studies on plankton, jellyfish and mega-
vertebrates.
