Research interests

The impact of climate change on marine organisms mainly fish and their eggs and larvae, is my main research interest. I employ a combination of experimental ecology with genetic and genomic methods to assess the organisms鈥 resilience and potential to adapt to climate change, focusing mainly on the impacts of ocean acidification on larvae of Atlantic cod.
