My overarching research interest is in how marine plants and animals drive the global ocean carbon sink (biological carbon pump), and regulate the climate and their environment. This includes how climate change and fishing will disturb marine ecosystems and change the natural carbon sinks that already exist as 'Nature Based Solutions' to climate change. I have a particular interest and expertise in Antarctic krill and their role in the ocean carbon sink, and the impact of fishing on the ocean biological carbon pump.
