I'm a benthic ecologist at PML, involved in a diverse range of projects aimed at disentangling the impacts of global change on benthic biota and biogeochemistry. I am also very interested in understanding the natural macro-scale dynamics of marine ecosystems. My current research focuses on the understanding of seasonality in benthic ecosystem processes, the impacts of ocean warming, acidification and hypoxia, and the potential risks posed by carbon capture and storage technology as a climate regulation strategy. My role at PML involves mescosm based and macro-scale ecological research, statistical analysis, ecosystem modelling development, and applications of dynamic bioclimatic envelope modelling.
