SCIENTIFIC ASSESSMENT
In addition to primary research, I contribute to scientific assessment and synthesis related to marine ecosystems, coral reefs and environmental change.
These activities connect ecological research with broader efforts to understand, monitor and respond to changes in marine ecosystems.
