My research interests involve examining the linkages between calcium carbonate-producing marine communities and coastal landform morphology within tropical systems. More specifically I am interested in (1) quantifying aspects of reef calcification and biological erosion, (2) examining sediment transport pathways within reef environments, and (3) understanding Holocene reef growth and ecological community structure in turbid zone reef environments. I am currently an Associate Research Fellow working on a NERC funded project investigating inner-shelf reef growth and future trajectories of reef geomorphic change on the Great Barrier Reef, in collaboration with James Cook University, Australia.
