Research Interests

My research expertise is in coastal benthic ecology. In other words, my laboratory group studies the plants and animals that live on the seafloor in shallow-waters and we are interested in how the environment shapes their interactions and physiology. This research is often done in the framework of how humans modify coastal ecosystems and how best to manage them. Past studies have included examinations of kelp forest herbivory, ecology on rocky shores and longterm monitoring of intertidal communities, production on artificial reefs and in seagrass beds, and effects of ocean acidification on seagrass beds and small invertebrates. Lastly, I have been active in outreach and serve as a science advisor to a secondary school led monitoring program call OPIHI: Our Project in Hawaii’s Intertidal.
