My research focuses on the ecological impacts of climate change and the functioning of the world’s seaweed forests. This includes understanding kelp carbon cycling and storage, regime shifts to sea urchin barrens and turfs, and climate-driven expansion of kelp forests in some Arctic regions. I am working with seaweed cultivators to develop unscaled restoration approaches for kelp forests. I take a broad scale approach to ecology, leading multiple international networks and running comparative field experiments across 3 continents. I co-supervise and mentor 4 PhD and 3 MSc students.

My research focuses on the ecological impacts of climate change and the functioning of the world’s seaweed forests. This includes understanding kelp carbon cycling and storage, regime shifts to sea urchin barrens and turfs, and climate-driven expansion of kelp forests in some Arctic regions. I am working with seaweed cultivators to develop unscaled restoration approaches for kelp forests. I take a broad scale approach to ecology, leading multiple international networks and running comparative field experiments across 3 continents. I co-supervise and mentor 4 PhD and 3 MSc students.
