About

My research focuses on the spatial structure and temporal dynamics of benthic invertebrates in tropical transitional wetlands. This work filles a critical gap in our knowledge of the unique components of these fauna and ways in which they respond to changes in tidal and freshwater flow. Consequently, the work provides a vital underpinning for work to restoration the functioning of human impacted tropical coastal wetlands.
