Biography
My interests include the development and testing of concepts
in ecology with special reference to coastal systems. My present
focus includes the impacts of climate variability and climate
change as drivers of population abundance and the role of biotic
interactions; drivers of biogeographic patterns and future predictions
of species’ distributions; and development of tools to
assess vulnerability of species, habitats and regions to climate
change. These are achieved through the development of mechanistic
and statistical population models that incorporate information
from observations at a range of spatial scales and explore the
role of both direct (e.g, physiological responses) and indirect
(e.g., biotic interactions) mechanisms driving population response
to climate change.
