Deputy Director, Centre for Marine Ecosystems Research, and Associate Dean of Research, Edith Cowan University

Deputy Director, Centre for Marine Ecosystems Research, and Associate Dean of Research, Edith Cowan University I have three main streams of research in coastal biology and ecology largely focusing on seagrass ecosystems. I use a variety of tools and methods such as ‘manipulated’ and ‘observational’ field and laboratory studies using ‘eco-physiological’ and ‘molecular’ tools. 1. Human impacts in coastal ecosystems Largely focusing on impacts through light reduction, climate change, and dredging How do plants respond to different stressors (developing sub-lethal indicators)? What levels of stress can they cope with? What are the consequences of disturbance? 2. Seagrass-grazing interactions How much is consumed? How do plants cope with grazing? 3. Seagrass evolution and taxonomy What are the evolutionary relationships in seagrasses, particularly Posidonia and Halophila?
