| Current Research: My research here is focused on elucidating the role of microbial biomass to metazoan food webs in the deep sea. Currently, I am trying to develop a lipid based technique that would allow archaeal biomass to be identified in metazoan diets using cold seep ecosystems as a model. | ||
| Other Research Interests: Benthic ecology, Antarctic and deep-sea ecosystems, reducing habitats, biogeochemical processes, biomarker diet analysis, bentho-pelagic coupling, infaunal food webs, biogeography of invertebrates, microbial processes. | ||
