Some important pages
Present investigation interests
Long-term change in deep-sea communities, continental slope megafauna, bentho-pelagic coupling, seasonality in the deep-sea, trophic ecology of key megafaunal species, abundance and biomass of deep-sea megabenthos, , abyssal plains, continental slopes, canyons, seamounts, deep-sea in situ experimentation. Understanding contemporary processes to evaluate any anthropogenic impacts in the deep-ocean. I am currently conducting collaborative research, to examine questions focussing on abyssal ecology:
What factors are affecting the quantity and quality of sinking organic carbon to abyssal depths from climatic variation to benthic processes?
How does variation in the sinking organic carbon food supply affect behaviour, population, and community dynamics?
How is the organic carbon food supply utilized and transformed by abyssal fauna?
