Key Research Interests
- How spatial and temporal variability in oceanographic processes influence spatial and temporal variability in biological processes, particularly in shelf seas.
- For example, how turbulence and mixing in shelf seas affects levels of primary production.
- How human marine developments and activities impact on these physical and biological processes, and how this should be accounted for in marine management.
- Stakeholder and communities’ understanding of the range of ecosystem services that can be supplied by local marine areas, and how these can be integrated into marine policy.
- Heavily involved in knowledge exchange, particularly with marine management bodies, in particular the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) and Marine Scotland.
