Current Research
My research is in benthic ecological pattern and process particularly related to both anthropogenic and natural disturbance. I am assessing disturbance-related effects across a range of scales, from megafaunal and meiofaunal communities to individual organism physiology. My research has used a variety of techniques to assess benthic ecology including remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), SCUBA diving, camera platforms, satellite imaging and vessel-based sampling. Some of my current research is listed in more detail below.
Benthic Ecology
I have studied megafaunal communities from the seashore to 6000 meters in depth in all the world's oceans. My work aims to understand community ecology at local to global scales.
Disturbance in the Deep Sea
The effects of both natural and anthropogenic disturbance across a range of scales has also been of interest to me. I concentrated on the effects of oil and gas drilling activities and mining in the deep-sea. I have also worked on iceberg and sediment related disturbance in the polar regions.
Carbon Transfer to the Deep Sea
At present, I am engaged in a number of projects assessing the role of gelatinous organisms in carbon transfer to the deep sea. I am interested in sources of carbon that have been typically ignored in our understanding of the biological carbon pump.
Other Details
I am head of the Ocean BioGeosciences group and a scientific leader at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. I have run the SERPENT project since 2006. I have a PhD in deep-water polar community ecology from the University of Southampton, a MSc in marine resource management (with distinction) from Heriot-Watt University and a BSc in marine biology (first class) from the University of Wales, Bangor. I am a trained commercial SCUBA diver.
