Research
Interests: Coral
Ecophysiology and Conservation
I
am
particularly interested in understanding how exposure to various
stressors influences the physiological response of corals and
how this is related to global climate change. It is important
that I establish clear links between my research endeavors and how they
may be used
by reserve managers and marine conservationists to help protect and
conserve coral reefs for future generations to enjoy. Growing up
along the southern coast of Belize I
have seen
first-hand how environmentally and economically important this system
is to
coastal communities and the world on a whole.
