Summary

I'm a marine biologist working in marine geology and coral reef ecology. My main area of research is the studies of natural and anthropogenic impacts (e.g., climate change and sea-level rise) on shallow sedimentary environments of coral reefs, with a particular interest in the response of scleractinian corals and other taxa to disturbances. I'm also interested in the ecology of coral fishes and their behavior in disturbed and pristine environments.
