Curriculum Vitae

I have 15 year experience working in benthic ecological research with a focus on imaging, acoustic and autonomous instruments to monitor and study benthic and bentho-pelagic processes. My previous research has focused on both shallow and deep coastal systems and the deep abyssal plain. 

Since joining IMR in 2019, my research has in a broad sense focused on coastal salmon aquaculture environmental interactions and coastal mapping. Specifically, impacts of particulate organic material on coastal hard bottom and vulnerable habitats and the development of monitoring methods.  Also risk assessment, focused specifically on aquaculture and also coastal integrated ecosystem based risk assessments. I am also involved in the provision of advice to management related to coastal aquaculture effects.
