Research Interests

My research centers on subtidal benthic marine ecosystems, using kelp forests and particularly the interactions between kelp and sea urchins to address questions of benthic primary productivity, herbivory, ecosystem services and the impacts of changing ocean conditions. I am particularly interested in the interactions between an organism and its environment, and my research focuses on the role that behaviour plays in modifying these interactions, using diverse techniques including acoustic telemetry, SCUBA diving and remotely deployed cameras.
