I am a marine biologist/marine social scientist with a background in marine research and consultancy from both the academic and commercial fields. The issues surrounding inshore and offshore marine industries such as marine renewables, aquaculture and fisheries are of most interest to me, specifically how national and international policies are applied to human marine-related activities … Read more
I am a Project Technical Officer with a keen interest in the movement ecology of marine species. I have worked in the tagging and tracking of animals both in the UK and abroad, through satellite remote sensing and acoustic telemetry. Marine science has afforded me the opportunity to work around the world, as an IAESTE … Read more
I have worked as a marine scientist for over 55 years, mainly at the Marine Biological Association but with a period of 13 years as Professor of Marine Biology at Bangor University. My research interests include: the environmental effects of hydrothermal vents, hydrocarbon seeps and submarine ground water seeps (including their roles in geochemical cycles … Read more
I am a PhD researcher specialising in how organic nutrients sustain shelf sea productivity. My research aims to characterise dissolved organic nutrient pools and examine how these are used by coastal phytoplankton communities. To investigate my research aims, I will collect and analyse field samples using analytical chemistry techniques and microbiological experiments. These methods will … Read more
My PhD research aims to elucidate the sensory systems guiding marine invertebrate larval settlement. Specifically, the apical organ which acts as a chemo- and mechano-sensory structure and is thought to play a crucial role in larval settlement and metamorphosis. Thereby also shaping benthic communities. I am particularly interested in Cnidarians (anemones, jellyfish & coral) and … Read more
