Personal profile
Research interests
I am an education-focused marine ecologist with research interests in the ecology and dynamics of temperate coastal ecosystems with a strong focus on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. My research has examined the effects of both natural (e.g. bioturbation) and anthropogenic (e.g. toxins, plastics, climate change) stressors on both soft sediment and rocky intertidal/shallow subtidal ecosystems.
Teaching activity
I teach on many modules across the various Biology degree programmes. I am module organiser for the BL3000 Field Course, BL5304 Ecosystem-Based Management of Marine Systems and BL5599 Biology Research Project (MSc (taught) dissertation).
I am course leader for the MSc in Marine Ecosystem Management.
