Research

My intention as a scientist is to link the importance of conservation with that of aquatic systems because the animals and/or specific groups of organisms we find in these systems can aid in determining their quality and viability for human use and enjoyment. Questions about how and why global biodiversity is changing through time and space provide the foundation for my research. It is through integrative science that I believe I may further unlock the secrets of complex ecological systems and potentially elucidate how to protect them better.
