I am an environmental social scientist, and my research integrates geography, sociology and psychology to examine environmental governance, in particular, governance of conservation and sustainability initiatives in marine and coastal systems. The interdisciplinary approach I take to research often includes collaborations with biological scientists, and extends to a transdisciplinary approach, involving knowledge co-production with practitioners and policymakers from the environmental and development sectors. Most of my research has focused on coral reef systems in the Asia-Pacific region (particularly in Australia, Indonesia, and Fiji). Some of my recent transdisciplinary research on coral reef conservation was profiled by Nature in an article on research related to the UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 Life Below Water.
