About

My research focuses on aspects of sea turtle ecology and conservation. I am currently studying the depth use ecology of green and hawksbill turtles in the Chagos Archipelago, and I am also conducting experimental work into the effects of plastic pollution on sea turtle nest incubation conditions.

Areas Of Expertise

Satellite tracking of sea turtles
Depth use ecology of sea turtles
Nesting ecology of sea turtles
