Our lab’s research aims to assess and mitigate the physiological consequences of climate change impacting marine organisms and the ecosystems they make up. Specifically, we use tropical marine ectotherms, i.e. cold-blooded animals, to understand the consequences of warming, oxygen loss and acidification in tropical habitats. This focus is spread across different scientific disciplines to form linkages between physiology and ecology, oceanography, and marine conservation. Our intention is to generate research that can support aquaculture innovation, nature-based solutions, and lead to biodiversity conservation and the overarching goal of the lab is to develop effective solutions for equitable tropical marine resources.
