Biography
Biography
I am a Lecturer in Marine Biology here at the University of Plymouth and divide my time between teaching and research.
In my research I specialise in using comparative ecophysiological and biochemical approaches within interdisciplinary (natural-social science) frameworks to understand the impact of ongoing global change on the marine environment, and to contribute towards sustainable solutions for this. I work across trophic levels and taxonomic groupings and I often use large-scale integrative approaches to my thinking and research. I integrate biochemistry with molecular biology, whole organism physiology and also more recently with cutting edge ‘omics’ techniques to understand how organisms respond to environmental change, and how this may ultimately influence the functionality of the ecosystem. When these types of data are combined with social science approaches this gives us a very powerful toolkit to respond to the wider effects of climate change on real life scenarios.
At Plymouth I teach on the Marine Biology degree delivering lecturers, seminars and field trips. I hold a PhD in Land crab ecophysiology (University of Bristol, 2010). Prior to this I completed a BSc (University of Wales, Swansea, 2003) and MRes in Marine Biology (molecular and cellular pathway) (University of Plymouth, 2005).

I am a comparative ecophysiologist and biochemist who specialises in using interdisciplinary (natural-social science) frameworks to understand the impact of ongoing global change on the marine environment, and to contribute towards sustainable solutions for this. I work across trophic levels, taxonomic groupings and aquatic environments and I often use large-scale integrative approaches to my thinking and research. I integrate biochemistry with molecular biology, whole organism physiology and also more recently with cutting edge ‘omics’ techniques to understand how organisms respond to environmental change, and how this may ultimately influence the functionality of the ecosystem. When these types of data are combined with social science approaches this gives us a very powerful toolkit to respond to the wider effects of climate change on real life scenarios. For the last few years I have been working on the effects of climate change on toxin producing phytoplankton and harmful bacteria within the context of seafood safety in South Asia. This work has combined ecophysiological multi-trophic experiments with social science approaches to make projections for the effects of this on local people as consumers and producers of these seafood products as protein and/or economic resources. We have several ongoing projects to extend this research to different life stages and further alternative sustainable aquaculture species. Prior to this my research has involved work to understand the biochemical metabolic adaptations of marine invertebrates to marine climate change parameters (e.g.warming, freshening and acidification) in both laboratory experiments and field studies.
My PhD was on the functional biology of Christmas Island land crabs,specifically that of the hormonal control of metabolic and osmotic homeostasis during the annual breeding migration. Later work in collaboration with Parks Australia on Christmas Island has continued to utilise molecular ecology approaches to inform conservation management strategies of these crabs which are ecologically and increasingly economically important species.
