Fields of interest
Consequences of environmental stressors on critically important species of fish and cephalopods. Focus areas include, but are not limited to, 1) impacts of low water quality, sediment runoff and pollutants on nearshore coral reef ecosystems; 2) consequences of rising ocean temperatures and marine heatwaves on coral reef fishes.
Description of scientific projects
With a strong background in eco-physiology and behavioral ecology, research teams in the Fish Resilience Program use a combination of innovative field and state-of-the-art laboratory techniques to understand impacts of disturbances on species health and resilience, and provide practical solutions such as water quality targets to policymakers, communities and industries.
