Research interests: the effects of climate change coral habitats, and the biology, ecology and geographical distribution of cold-water corals. |
 |
Research interests: the biology, reproduction, and ecology of the sea scallop, Placopectin magellanicus, and the effects of population density on scallop fertilization success. |

Research interests: Understanding the physical factors driving the distribution, abundance, community structure and diversity of seafloor dwelling organisms in the Gulf of Maine; Using ecological knowledge of benthic community assembly to create maps and models that will inform policy and management decisions to be made in Maine (i.e. offshore wind power siting, ecosystem based fisheries management, and ocean planning.) |
