Specialties

  • Ecological physiology
  • Global change biology
  • Remote sensors
  • Invasive biology/ecology
  • Organism–environment interactions: response of species to ocean change; e.g., ocean acidification, increased temperature
  • Cellular and organismal physiology
  • Transcriptomics
  • Coastal ecological processes

 

Research Overview

My research focuses on organism-environment interactions in coastal marine ecosystems using time-series observational data combined with field and laboratory experiments to predict the response of species to ocean change.

 

Current Research Projects

  • Currently, my research investigates the transcriptomic response of Antarctic sea urchin larvae to the individual and interacting conditions of future ocean change- including ocean acidification and increased temperature.
