RESEARCH INTERESTS:
 
  • larval dispersal, population connectivity and their influence on population dynamics
  • ecology of deep-sea reducing environments (oxygen minimum zones, methane seeps)
  • population and community ecology of soft-sediment habitats
  • wetlands ecology, species invasion and restoration
  • animal-sediment-plant-geochemical interactions
  • ecosystem-level consequences of species invasion
