Research Interests:
My research centers on coral reef ecology, so my research spans a wide range of topics. I am concerned with the effects of the following physical parameters on coral reef ecosystems: light (spectrum, intensity and modulation), temperature, water motion, salinity, various pollutants, sedimentation and nutrients. In addition, I am interested in the biogeography and dispersal of reef organisms, reef structure and function, and various biological dimensions such as competition and genetic structure. Much of my work is directed at producing the basic information required for intelligent environmental management of tropical marine coastal ecosystems.
