People - (and the lab fleet)
I am interested in examining the interactions that occur between aquatic organisms as well as their environment. More specifically I am interested on impacts that humans impose on aquatic communities through habitat alteration (i.e. climate change, deforestation, polluting) as well as introduction of invasive species. Currently, I am still exploring research topics to narrow down my specific research question and begin developing a project.
