§  Marine Ecology and Oceanography: I am a multi-disciplinary scientist specialising in marine and aquatic ecosystems. My current research looks at the dynamic ecological processes, and the ecological services of marine and coastal habitats. Examining oceanic properties such as physical, chemical, and biological parameters and quantifying their relationship to climatic processes including El-Nino Southern Oscillation and Indian Ocean Dipole events, as well as regional synoptic influences and the impacts of urban/industrial and agricultural terrestrial acitivities on the GBR coastline. Previously I have developed algorithms for detecting marine sediment plumes and provide ‘toolkits’ for managers to monitor water quality from river outflow, conducted research in marine benthic ecology using remotely operated video and applied climate modelling techniques to quantify impacts of changing climate processes on coastal water quality. I am currently analysing spectral light wavelengths reaching benthic habitats (seagrasses, coral reefs) under changing metocean conditions and catchment pollutants..
