I am a molecular ecologist with a focus on understanding the impacts of climate change on marine taxa. My research interests are centred around conserving biodiversity in the face of anthropogenic climate change, utilizing molecular tools to explore vulnerability and resilience. I have a particular interest in marine turtles and how their temperature-dependent mechanism of sex determination will impact future population persistence, and how we can use genomics to answer these questions.
