Our lab’s research aims to assess and mitigate the physiological consequences of climate change impacting marine organisms and the ecosystem they make up. We focus on ocean acidification, warming, and oxygen loss, and use a diversity of marine organisms in our work. While we don't work with anything really big or small, i.e., sharks or microbes, we do work on a highly diverse group of marine organisms that are both benthic and pelagic. We integrate our research questions in a highly interdisciplinary capacity to form linkages between physiology and ecology, oceanography, and marine conservation. This includes supporting aquaculture innovation, nature-based solutions, and biodiversity conservation. The overarching goal of the lab is the development of scalable and effective solutions for sustainable and equitable tropical marine resources.
